Joe Biden is in Europe for yet another G7 Summit
This useless gathering of “world leaders” is really nothing more than a photo-op.
They will all get up in front of the world and tell us how they are going to change things, then it is business as usual when they get back to their respective countries.
When Biden arrived for this month’s summit, he was greeted by French President Macron, who delivered some bad news.
Not Today, Joe
Macron was visibly downtrodden when he spoke with Biden.
In fact, as the conversation was taking place, one of Biden’s advisers encouraged the two to move further away from the media so the conversation could not be heard.
Macron informed Biden of a conversation he had with MBZ, a reference to United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
Macron stated, “I had a call with MBZ.
“He told me two things.
“One, I’m at a maximum, maximum [production capacity] — what he claims…
“Second, according to MBZ, the Saudis can increase a little bit, by 150 [thousands barrels per day] or a little bit more, but they don’t have huge capacities at least before six months’ time.”
Biden has locked down the US oil industry, hoping that he could pressure other countries to produce more oil so he can keep the United States’ carbon footprint lower.
That six-month window is a big deal because that means there is no hope for Biden to get gasoline significantly lowered before the mid-term elections.
What Biden just found out is that his party is dead in the water in the 2022 cycle, which means effective January 2023, Joe Biden is a lame duck.
