Feb 9 (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden and King Salman of Saudi Arabia discussed energy supplies in the face of soaring fuel prices and developments in the Middle East, including Iran and Yemen, in a telephone call on Wednesday. “The two leaders committed to ensuring the stability of global energy supplies,” the White House said in a statement. A U.S. source familiar with the call said, “Saudi Arabia has historically played a vital role in ensuring global energy markets are well supplied to support strong and resilient economies. The conflict in Yemen is largely seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Salman told Biden that Saudi Arabia wanted there to be a “political resolution” in Yemen, SPA said.
