Calls in the US Congress to withdraw troops and missile systems from the Gulf

ARK News… The "Washington Times" newspaper said that a group of US Democratic representatives proposed a bill that provides for the withdrawal of all forces from Saudi Arabia, in addition to the withdrawal of missile defense systems.

A group of Democratic members of Congress expressed their dissatisfaction with the "OPEC +" decision to reduce oil production by two million barrels per day, and accordingly the bill was proposed to withdraw forces from the Gulf.

Representatives Tom Malinowski, Sean Chasten, and Susan Wilde introduced the Extreme Partnership Act. It provides for the withdrawal of all US forces from all countries in the Middle East, along with missile defense systems, including the Patriot and THAAD systems.

"The sharp decline in oil production in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, despite President Biden's courtship of both countries in recent months, is an act of hostility toward the United States and a clear indication that they have chosen Russia's side in its conflict with Ukraine," the statement read.

According to the politicians, “The United States has been providing security to both countries, including their oil fields, for several years. We see no reason why American forces and contractors should continue to provide this service to countries that are actively working against us. If Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates want to help Putin, they should count on his protection," assert members of Congress.

According to the newspaper, OPEC's decision will deal a serious political blow to Biden and his comrades on the eve of the midterm parliamentary elections.
