Saudi Arabia's crown prince left the country on Monday to attend the G20 summit being held in Bali and will visit other Asian countries as part of the trip, state news agency SPA reported.
Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman is expected not to have a meeting with United States President Joe Biden at the G20 summit, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Sunday.
Stormy US-Saudi relations have seen new strain over Riyadh's recent support for oil production cuts, with Biden warning of unspecified "consequences."
The move last week by OPEC+ -- composed of the Riyadh-led OPEC cartel and an additional group of 10 exporters headed by Russia -- would reduce global output by up to two million barrels per day from November.
It could send energy prices soaring amid an energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine, and as inflation-weary American voters prepare to cast ballots in midterm elections.
The move was widely seen as a diplomatic slap in the face, since Biden traveled to Saudi Arabia in July and met with the crown prince, despite vowing to make the kingdom an international "pariah" following the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The Biden administration has voiced openness to retaliatory measures in Congress by enraged fellow Democrats.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has said the Saudi Crown Prince deserved respect and that Russia was set on boosting relations with Saudi Arabia.
