Trump Says 'We Don't Need Middle Eastern Oil' Amid Worry Over Saudi Facilities Attack

US President Donald Trump tweeted on Monday that the United States was the top energy producer and did not need "Middle Eastern Oil" just as a weekend attack halved Saudi oil output

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th September, 2019) US President Donald Trump tweeted on Monday that the United States was the top energy producer and did not need "Middle Eastern Oil" just as a weekend attack halved Saudi oil output.

The Saturday drone attack on Saudi Aramco facilities halted some 5.7 million barrels per day of output, or about 5 percent of the global daily oil production.

"Because we have done so well with Energy over the last few years (thank you, Mr. President!), we are a net Energy Exporter, & now the Number One Energy Producer in the World. We don't need middle Eastern Oil & Gas, & in fact have very few tankers there, but will help our Allies!" Trump tweeted.
