WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) - The United States welcomed
on Thursday reports that OPEC and its allies agreed in principal
to reduce oil production by 10 million barrels per day (bpd), a
senior Trump administration official said on Thursday.
"These commitments would send an important signal that all
major oil producing states will respond in an orderly manner to
market realities caused by the Coronavirus pandemic," the
official said, and added that Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette
was going to represent the United States at Friday's G20 energy
ministers meeting to discuss actions to restore market
stability.
