A global recession caused by what? Is it really in the self-interest of Gulf states to boost a run of record profits when Putin's war forces their customers to accelerate the switch away from fossil fuels? Is it the role of the United States - also a leading oil and gas producer - to pressure OPEC?

More broadly, what's left of that fist bump from last summer in Jeddah? US officials have in the past days warned Saudi Arabia that the wind in Washington is blowing against its crown prince. Even if Donald Trump would return to the White House in two years time, can the kingdom bank on a return to grace? Especially if Russia's still shelling Ukrainian cities?
