Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan have both declined phone calls from the White House in recent weeks, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. "There was some expectation of a phone call, but it didn’t happen," a U.S. official told the Journal. "It was part of turning on the spigot [of Saudi oil]." White House press secretary Jen Psaki has denied that the administration has tried to discuss oil exports with the Persian Gulf nations.
