U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Monday called for the United States to “immediately freeze” all cooperation with Saudi Arabia after Russia’s air strikes in Ukraine.
Menendez cited the kingdom’s decision with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC+, cartel to cut oil output by 2 million barrels per day as supporting President Vladimir Putin in the Russia-Ukraine war.
