Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir has said Saudi Arabia does not politicize oil and the shortage is not related to the fundamentals of crude oil supply and demand.
"Oil is not a weapon," al-Jubeir told Fox News. "It's not a fighter plane. It's not a tank. You can't shoot it. You can't do anything with it. We look at oil as a commodity and we look at oil as important to the global economy in which we have a huge stake.”
