WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The Organization for the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) wants to engage in more active dialogue with the United States in the same way the cartel communicates with Europe, Russia and China, OPEC Secretary General Abdalla Salem el-Badri said.
"I talk to the EU, I talk to the Russians, I talk to the Chinese, I talk almost to everybody except the United States — what I want is a dialogue," el-Badri stated on Monday at the IHS Energy CERAWeek conference.
The secretary general explained that the United States has an antitrust deal, which impedes the dialogue.
