DOHA (Sputnik) – Kuwait backs Saudi Arabia’s initiative to call an emergency meeting of oil-producing countries to stabilise the crashing market, Oil Minister Khaled Ali Al-Fadhel told the KUNA news agency on Friday, noting that they would welcome non-OPEC countries joining it.
On Thursday, Saudi Arabia called for an urgent meeting that would include not only OPEC+ members but also oil producers who had not been a part of the format.
Since early March, global oil prices have spiralled downward amid an inability of Moscow and Riyadh to agree on oil production levels as the global economy has ground to a halt. Following Donald Trump’s support for a resolution to the conflict, oil prices spiked 20% from their historic lows on Thursday.
