  • The WSJ reported that the White House has stopped asking Saudi Arabia to produce more oil.

  • The US has been trying to get more Saudi oil since it banned Russian energy imports.

  • The US-Saudi relationship is at a new low.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House has given up trying to get Saudi Arabia to pump more oil.

The US banned imports of Russian oil and gas after Putin invaded Ukraine. The US turned to Saudi Arabia to drive down prices.

The Saudis declined, with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly ignoring President Joe Biden's phone calls. Despite global price rises, the members of the OPEC+ oil producers alliance decided on a tiny increase in production in late March.

A senior US official told The Journal that after abandoning its efforts to get Saudi Arabia to up oil production, the US asked the Saudis not to do anything that would hurt the West.

Saudi Arabia is one of a number of nations who have not condemned the invasion of Ukraine.

The White House and State Department did not respond to the request.

The growing rift between Biden and Crown Prince Mohammed is reflected in Saudi Arabia's decision to avoid angering Russia instead of letting down the US.

A longstanding alliance is being tested

The relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia is underpinned by the exchange of US arms and security guarantees. The relationship is being tested.

Saudi Arabia is upset with Biden's sidelining of Crown Prince Mohammed, Biden's hardline rhetoric on the country's human-rights records, and the US failure to guarantee its security following a string of attacks on the Arabian Peninsula.

As the effects of the Russia oil crisis began to bite, The Journal reported that the US sent more antimissile missiles to Saudi Arabia.

Biden has yet to meet Saudi King Salman or Crown Prince Mohammed in an official capacity more than a year into his presidency.

The White House demoted Crown Prince Mohammed to defense minister, one of the titles he holds, after the CIA concluded that he probably ordered the murder of the writer.

In an interview with The Atlantic magazine published last month, Crown Prince Mohammed made it clear that he did not care what the US president thought of him.

According to The Journal, Crown Prince Mohammed yelled at Jake Sullivan after the White House national security advisor brought up the issue of the Saudi Arabian journalist.
