OPEC+ Meeting to Be Delayed on New #Saudi, Russia Rift - Bloomberg

OPEC+ Meeting to Be Delayed on New Saudi, Russia Rift - Bloomberg:



 The OPEC+ meeting to try to end the oil price war is unlikely to go ahead of Monday as previously expected, as Riyadh and Moscow engaged on a war of words about who’s to blame for the collapse in oil prices.

The OPEC+ alliance needs more time for negotiations, a delegate familiar with th matter said, noting the meeting may still happen a few days later.

Saudi Arabia made a pointed diplomatic attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin, opening a fresh rift between the world’s two largest oil exporters and jeopardizing a deal to cut production.

In a statement early on Saturday, the Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said comments by Putin laying blame on Riyadh for the end of the OPEC+ pact between the two countries in March were “fully devoid of truth.”
