Summary

Saudi Arabia’s push for OPEC+ to cut oil production is fueling Russia's coffers in its war in Ukraine. Andy talks to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s right hand man, Derek Chollet, about the geopolitical reasons behind that decision and the effect it will have abroad and at home. He explains the delicate diplomacy taking place between America and Saudi Arabia and why Europe’s split from Russian energy will ultimately benefit global democracy.
