white house and peter doocy in saudi arabia. peter, we ll start things off with you. and here in saudi arabia, the leaders of telling president biden they can help expand their oil production capacity, but only a little bit. so, if president biden came here thinking he was going to get saudi arabia to increase their oil production capacity so much that it might lower gas prices back at home, he s leaving emptyhanded. in this era, announced increase of the level maximum sustainable capacity more than 13 million barrels, beyond that the kingdom will not have any further production capacity. so, what this means, they can expand to 13 million barrels a day max, but they re already at 12 million barrels a day capacity. at most they could add the same number barrels a day the president is selling from the strategic reserve and that s not really lowering prices a ton. so, it s unclear at this point if the president was overselling what he said he squeezed out of the saudis.
