Washington - The United States on Wednesday opposed a decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to cut oil production by
520,000 barrels per day.
"We certainly disagree with it. We would like to see more oil on the market, not less," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.
OPEC cited falling oil prices and lower demand earlier Wednesday in its announcement that it would cut output. The price of crude oil has fallen by some 30 per cent since a July record, but remains at about 100 dollars per barrel.
