Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has called on OPEC+ to\u00a0increase crude supplies and U.S. President Joe Biden has also criticized the oil alliance for not producing more barrels.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The idea that Russia and Saudi Arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is not right,&quot;\u00a0Biden said on Oct. 31.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 CNBC&#x27;s Natasha Turak and Matt Clinch contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/11\/17\/opec-member-calls-for-calm-after-us-pressure-to-pump-more-oil.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UAE&#x27;s energy minister Suhail al-Mazrouei on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":144921,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
