The White House on Wednesday sharply criticized the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, after its members decided to implement a significant cut to oil production.

The group of significant oil producers, which includes Saudi Arabia and Russia, announced it would slash oil production by 2 million barrels per day. For months, the Biden administration attempted to lobby the Saudi kingdom to produce more oil, with President Joe Biden even visiting Saudi Arabia in July.
