Murray on Biden-Macron oil chat: ‘This is not a dialogue between two equal world leaders’
Fox News contributor Douglas Murray reacts to President Biden wanting to produce oil in other countries.
Fox News contributor Douglas Murray told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday that a conversation between French President Emmanuel Macron and President Biden caught on tape at the G7 was not a dialogue between two equal world leaders.
DOUGLAS MURRAY: President Biden has been hoping that there is this last-ditch saving of his energy policy and that he can persuade Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other Arab oil-producing companies to increase their production of oil.

If you look at this video, Macron is trying to make this really simple for President Biden. Really simple. And President Biden, you can see, is standing there trying to take it in. But this is not a dialog between two equal world leaders. It looks like somebody prepping somebody they know isn't on top of the issue. And no wonder President Macron thinks that. No wonder other world leaders might think that.
