This story is nonsense.
No news agencies are reporting on this and I can't find another source for what would be one of the most consequential stories in the world if it were true
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/us-saudi-petrodollar-pact-ends-after-50-years
This says nothing about Saudi Arabia deliberately ending the deal or wanting to opt-out, as OP's article implies. At best, they're saying the deal reached some natural expiration date. There have been no public comments either way to suggest that the deal has expired, anything out of the ordinary has happened or that it will not be renewed if this is the case.
More importantly, this is an opinion piece on the stock tip section of a website that is notably not a news agency. If this were true, it would represent a massive Geo-political shift and would have been widely reported by now.
its some bs, the deal has not been ended and why on earth its suddenly 80 years
Unless my Googling is failing me, as of the moment the contract is expired. They’re purportedly working on a new one, the results of which remain to be seen.
i've posted about it 3 days ago, when sources were 3 crank sites. The contract doesn't have expiration date that i can find. 50 years has passed, that much is true, but now its allegedly ended (??). Where on earth they got idea the contract was for 50 years to a day, i have no idea.
Folks, a lot of people are saying.
Yeah I’m not finding a copy of said contract either on a little bit of digging, nor any direct quotes from officials.
First of all, the Saudi Arabia-US petrodollar deal was signed in 1974. 2024-1974 < 80. I'm locking this post.
