Alleged move by Biden administration came prior to upcoming mid-term elections with price of petrol a key issue
Saudi Arabia has claimed it was pressured by the Biden administration to delay by a month a decision to cut oil production, a move that would have reduced the likelihood of an unpopular fuel price rise just ahead of the US mid-term elections.
In its first remarks since the US president warned of consequences on Tuesday, the Saudi foreign ministry said it rejected the overture and pressed on with the cut to production.
