Is This a Short-Sighted Move?

The US is an exporter of oil, but the world oil price affects us just as much as it does the rest of the world. The Saudis had absolutely no interest in accommodating anything Biden was trying to do. They did what they thought they needed to do for themselves and for the other members of OPEC. This move doesn't make any sense economically or politically. Who's going to stick their neck out next time? You talked to people who've talked to me about this. And I'll say it one more time, there isn't reallymuch else the White House can do about that."
