It’s not all black and white, it’s important to remember the new President’s age, he will remember well, like myself, the first oil shock.
OPEC has been tainted ever since, the last thing that any self respecting President wants to do is to give those guys any semblance of oil price control ever again, they enforced a 3day working week, major power outages.
This was at a time when coal was still a major feature of energy.
This 1970’s history is part of the reason that Saudia Arabia remains an important western ally and maintains a certain independence from OPEC thinking.
Should explain that the 3 day week was a UK reaction to a coal miners’ strike, the option of oil use was limited due to oil price being raised re opec.
