President Biden will visit Saudi Arabia this month after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed Thursday to increase production, according to multiple reports.OPEC’s decision to expand production could help Biden tamp down domestic inflation, which at 8.3% was near a four-decade high in April, driven in part by soaring energy prices.Biden’s trip comes after his administration sought to sideline the absolute monarchy’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman — who US intelligence agencies believe ordered the 2018 operation that resulted in the death and alleged dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, a US resident who died after being lured to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
