“There are a lot of negotiations, there are a lot of people in the Middle East who want to talk to me, I’m not sure I’m going to talk to them,” Biden told CNN Thursday night. “But the point is, it’s about fuel production. However, There are things we can do in the meantime.”
And about the timeline he expects to lower fuel prices, Biden said: “I think you’ll start to see fuel prices go down over time, next year, in 2022. I don’t see anything going on right now, to bring fuel prices down dramatically.” .
