UAE is not a friend of Biden nor EU. UAE is not a friend of Net Zero which they jammed into the Narrative upon Biden election. Once EU starts buying oil from Saudi/UAE dependently...UAE and Saudi will also constrain and lower delivery amounts as prices rise...continue to constrain and lower delivery amounts as dependency increases. UAE and Saudi are NOT FRIENDY nations toward EU. EU wishes to totally transform toward green...reduce oil usage toward zero. EU is in a very bad place right now. In fact...ever since Biden released strategic oil supplies and China has stayed locked down with reduced oil usage...Saudi has been jawboning heavily about a reduction in OPEC+ general output at the next meeting.
