British Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday where he held talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Johnson was greeted by the royal guard at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh. Johnson met with the de facto rulers of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in efforts to ease skyrocketing gasoline prices.  His visit, though, is also aimed at pressing these two major OPEC producers to pump more oil, which would have an immediate impact on Brent crude oil prices that nearly touched $140 a barrel in trading last week.
