WASHINGTON: United States says Saudi Arabia has agreed to ramp up oil production

 United States say Saudi Arabia has agreed to ramp up oil production.

In a tweet, President Donald Trump said he had asked Saudi King Salman to increase oil production up to 2,000,000 barrels due to turmoil  and dysfunction in Iran and Venezuela.   

His latest comments come a week after ministers from OPEC of which Saudi Arabia is the major member had already agreed to raise output from July.
