in Congress are mounting a new effort to block the Biden administration from selling weapons to Saudi Arabia in return for OPEC+'s decision to significantly cut back on oil production.Last week's announcement by the oil cartel was widely seen as a boost for Russia, which is relying on its energy exports to fund the Kremlin's brutal invasion of Ukraine. It also stands to undermine the West's efforts to choke off Moscow's energy dollars.In retaliation, Rep. Ro Khanna of California and Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut called for new legislation to 'immediately halt all U.S. arms sales' to the Middle Eastern kingdom, which leads OPEC+, in a joint editorial published in on Sunday.
