NEWS AND OPINION:
So President Biden will journey to Saudi Arabia in mid-July. Multiple news organizations now speculate that Mr. Biden is seeking ways to reduce the price of gas in the U.S. and the Middle East visit could be one way to do that.
Others disagree, including House Republican Whip Steve Scalise — who is confronting the price of the precious fuel these days just like everyone else. It is, by the way, $5.03 per gallon on average nationwide, and $6.63 in spots like San Luis Obispo, California, according to GasBuddy.
