Oil executives are not happy with Joe Biden’s vilification of their industry.
This week, President Joe Biden is flying halfway around the world to ask Saudi Arabia for oil —but the solution is right here at home, say oil execs who don’t understand Biden’s destructive energy policies.

“If the administration is serious about increasing supply, they should be meeting with producers here at home instead of looking to governments overseas,” added Christina Noel, American Petroleum Institute spokeswoman.
Biden arrives in Saudi Arabia on Friday —and oil won’t be the only elephant in the room. Biden is expected to address the country’s human rights violations and the killing of WaPo journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“We will have the opportunity, among this very broad agenda, to talk about energy security with the leaders of the OPEC nations in the Middle East, just as we discussed energy security when he was on his trips in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Monday.
