Biden won't meet Saudi prince during G20 summit in Bali after oil snub.

US national security advisor says Joe Biden has no plans to meet Saudi prince. I hope the United States president will not meet Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman at the upcoming G20 summit in Bali. The United States NSA said Biden will act methodically when it comes to re-evaluating ties with Saudi. The White House official said options includes changes to US security assistance to Riyadh. Washington is upset after saudi-led OPEC and its allies decided to make huge cuts in oil output. Even though Saudi rejected charges by US and justified its decision as "purely economic" , Biden administration has accused Riyadh led oil cartel of knowingly boosting Russian interests. We already stormy US-Saudi ties have further strained by the production cuts. The move last week by OPEC is expected to send prices soaring and amid the energy crisis in Europe. The diplomatic setback for United States from the war of words with Saudi also threatens to darken Biden administration's out look ahead of the midterm election in u.s.
