"Just spoke to King Salman of Saudi Arabia and explained to him that, because of the turmoil & disfunction in Iran and Venezuela, I am asking that Saudi Arabia increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels, to make up the difference...Prices to high! He has agreed!" Donald Trump (30. Juni 2018)

Trump says Saudi Arabia's King Salman 'would not last two weeks' without US support
The president, in an effort to pile pressure on one of America’s closest allies over the rising cost of oil, called on the kingdom to increase its defence budget or face an uncertain future. Speaking at a campaign rally in Mississippi, he said: "I love the king, King Salman, but I said: 'King, we're protecting you. You might not be there for two weeks without us. You have to pay for your military, you have to pay."'Crude oil prices are at a four-year high with the November mid-term elections looming, and Mr Trump claimed just last week that oil producers were “ripping off the rest of the world”.

Izgleda da sankcije Iranu (koje umanjuju proizvodnju nafte globalno, te povecavaju cijenu iste, jer je Iran jedan od najvecih proizvodjaca) izazivaju neke neobicne posljedice, prvenstveno negativne- za koga- za Saude. Povecati proizvodnju, spustiti cijene, mozda bi i htjeli. Ali sta ako su se precijenili i ne mogu povecati proizvodnju, sta ako nafte nema toliko koliko su bile njihove procjene.
