I believe what the Saudis said was that they'd produce oil for every customer that wanted it. :D

As opposed to the more usual OPEC tactic of restricting production to inflate prices...

Yep, this seems to be a sea change.

You gotta wonder if the US's policy of befriending the Saudi royal family is finally paying off.

It could be more likely to be an attempt to persuade America to either leave the middle east or retain a prescence. Whichever is more of a political advantage to the Saudis. (I suspect remain.)

Well, given the options you've laid out, I guess you have a 50/50 chance of being right. :D
