Biden says Saudis will help lower gas prices — after denying he’d beg for more oil

"Biden told reporters in Saudi Arabia that gas prices are likely to come down in ‘the next
couple of weeks” after he discussed oil production with killer crown prince Mohammed bin Salman — despite claiming 15 days ago that the issue had nothing to do with his visit.

Biden mentioned energy prominently while describing a private meeting with bin Salman — as high pump prices and the worst inflation in 41 years have sent the president’s approval rating as low as 33%." NYP
