Joe Biden isn’t against oil, he’s just against American oil. Instead of allowing this country to drill for more oil, he is now considering going to Saudi Arabia to beg them for more oil. I guess the whole being mad about Jamal Khashoggi is over with.
President Biden may be exploring additional options for oil with a possible trip to Saudi Arabia in the coming months, a new report said.

The meeting would come at a time when Americans are hurting due to inflation, which has been particularly noticeable at the gas pump, with prices climbing higher and higher.
