As we are all aware, gas prices continue to skyrocket and it does not seem like it will lower anytime soon. We are seeing a recession slowly progressing, whether we want to believe it or not. As the Russian/Ukraine war devastatingly continues, we have seen how world leaders have treated the matter. Sanctions, cutting deals/ties off completely with Russia to denounce the invasion of Ukraine. One major sanction was oil and in return Russia also cut off some European countries from using their oil. As gas prices continue to climb, President Biden has his eyes set on Saudi Arabia, specifically OPEC. Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is an intergovernmental organization of 13 countries. OPEC coordinates and consolidates the policies about petroleum production and output involving its member nations and it promises a stable oil market that offers petroleum supplies that are both efficient and economic. President Biden and U.S. diplomats have been coordinating an official visit to Riyadh after two years of tension between disagreements over human rights, the war in Yemen and U.S. weapons supplies to the kingdom. While we are not sure what is to come from this meeting, OPEC members are saying its "highly possible" that an agreement may come about. As things change rapidly, we are not sure if anything may come about, but we can only hope that an agreement is signed upon to help alleviate rising gas prices.
