White House’s reaction to OPEC Plus agreement to reduce oil production
John Kirby, the spokesperson for the US National Security Council, responded to the reduction in oil production by some OPEC Plus member countries.
We have explicitly stated that we do not consider reducing oil production at this time to be appropriate, and we do not recommend it.
The Biden administration is focused on prices for American consumers, not barrels of crude oil.
The Biden administration will continue to cooperate with all producers and consumers to ensure support for energy markets, economic growth, and lower prices for American consumers.
