Boris Johnson to visit Saudi Arabia and UAE in push for more oil

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold talks with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as he bids to end the West's "addiction" to Russian oil and gas.

Johnson will meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, before travelling to Riyadh to speak with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

There is a widespread expectation that the prime minister will use the trip to try and persuade Gulf states to boost their own production of oil and gas. This would allow Western nations to wean themselves off Russian supplies and deal a further financial blow to Moscow.
