 "Saudi Arabia ‘persuaded’ to help offset high oil price")
US President Donald Trump said he persuaded Saudi Arabia to consider steps that would boost oil production, a move that would stretch the world’s biggest exporter to the limit and threaten to blow up a fragile truce agreed by OPEC last week.
“Just spoke to King Salman of Saudi Arabia and explained to him that, because of the turmoil & dysfunction in Iran and Venezuela, I am asking that Saudi Arabia increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels, to make up the difference...Prices to high! He has agreed!,” Trump said on Twitter Saturday.
