Saudi Arabia has rebuffed a
plea from President George
Bush for a big increase in oil
production to help bring world
prices down. The call came as
Mr Bush was visiting Riyadh to
mark seventy-five years of
Saudi-American friendship. In
reply, the Saudi oil minister
said output had been increased
by three per cent earlier this
month, and there was no need
for a further rise.
