AP : Saudi Arabia not confirming Trump's 2M barrels... In other words, he lied again...
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) The Latest on President Donald Trump and Saudi oil production (all times local):
8:50 a.m.
Saudi Arabia says that King Salman has spoken to President Donald Trump, but gave no mention of the 2 million barrels of extra production the American leader tweeted about earlier in the day.
A statement on the state-run Saudi Press Agency on Saturday afternoon said: During the call, the two leaders stressed the need to make efforts to maintain the stability of oil markets and the growth of the global economy.
It added that there also was an understanding that oil-producing countries would need to compensate for any potential shortage of supplies. It did not elaborate.
Trump tweeted earlier Saturday that he has received assurances from King Salman that his kingdom would increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels, in response to turmoil in Iran and Venezuela.

President Donald Trump says he has received assurances from King Salman of Saudi Arabia that the kingdom will increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels, in response to turmoil in Iran and Venezuela.
Trump says on Twitter Saturday that he asked Salman to increase oil production to make up the difference...Prices to (sic) high! He has agreed!
His comments come as oil prices have edged higher as his administration pushes U.S. allies to end oil purchases from Iran.
The OPEC cartel recently agreed to pump 1 million barrels more crude oil per day. Trumps claim of a 2-million-barrel increase for Saudi Arabia alone does not specify a timeframe.
There was no immediate acknowledgment from the Saudi Royal Court that the conversation took place. Officials didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.
