Read the fucking trump deal. It was for 2 fucking years. It ended in April 2022 when they were supposed to go back to pre pandemic levels. That hasn't happened as they are still 3 million bpd short.

If so, it obviously wasn't anything the US was in a position to enforce. The oil market has completely flipped since April 2020. That agreement was supposed to govern production CUTBACKS, not subsequent INCREASES when global demand recovered!
I've furnished you with a link to the DOE database for Saudi monthly oil production. Please peruse the data. You will notice Saudi output averaged 9.8 million bpd in Q1 2020 (just before the pandemic hit the US). In the just-ended second quarter of this year, they pumped an average of 10.3 million daily barrels... so why are you whining about their not going back to "pre-pandemic levels", something they weren't even required to do under your ignorantly misnamed "Trump deal"?
