The Saudi government-led oil cartel OPEC+ announced it would cut oil production earlier this week, despite an aggressive push from the U.S. and other Western allies to at least delay the move. Many European countries are facing strained energy supplies this year as Russia has limited exports in retaliation to Western economic sanctions over President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, when asked by FOX Business' Edward Lawrence on Wednesday, denied a "reassessment" of China would take place. He cited what he called America's "complex" relationship with China, and noted how Chinese President Xi Jinping was said to have raised "questions and concerns" to Putin over the Ukraine war during an in-person meeting last month. Kirby called it a "public rebuke" of Putin's actions, the first of its kind.
