MOSCOW—The Kremlin on Sunday praised OPEC+ for agreeing on production cuts that had successfully countered the “mayhem” sown by the United States in global energy markets.

The White House pushed hard to prevent the output cut. Biden hopes to keep U.S. gasoline prices from spiking again ahead of midterm elections in which his Democratic party is struggling to maintain control of the U.S. Congress.
