In a statement the group which was in saudi arabia and russia, the group said the decision was based on the uncertainty that surrounds the Global Economic and oil market outlooks .

Among those, getting companies to drill more by making leasing and permitting easier. Promoting socalled opec legislation that opens the producing companies up to antitrust lawsuits and releasing even more of the u. S. His own oil from emergency reserves those reserves already near 40 year lows and will be even lower when the u. S. Completes a drawdown of 180 Million Barrels up to november. Theyre willing to keep going. It is a strategic resource that we continue to have. And we will use when it is consistent with economic and national security. But make no mistake, it is still a tool that we can certainly deploy if we need to. Reporter todays move with saudi arabia and other reducers side with russia, raises broader question about whether there was any advantage to the president controversial visit to the kingdom in july and whether the u. S. Is disappointed in the country of strategic partner. A multiplicity of interests with saudi arabia. And the president laid those out during his trip. But we are working everything all day to make sure to the best of our ability that Energy Supply from wherever is actually meeting demands in order to ensure the energy is on the market and the price is are kept low. Reporter estimates the opec move could raise retail gas prices by up to . 30 a gallon, which wont sit well with midterm voters.

That could detract from big legislative wins that have given democrats a boost. Shep . Kimball county live on the north lawn. The situation with north korea just escalated dramatically.
