这个世界石油领域的不倒翁, 最终合得沙特人民忍无可忍, 炒了他了。
Mr. Naimi, who had been the kingdom’s oil minister since 1995, has been a strong voice against lowering Saudi Arabia’s production when prices fall, a move away from its past tactics. He moved the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to keep pumping oil at a rapid clip despite a global supply glut, a decision that has weighed on crude-oil markets and depressed prices./ e) G! ]% ]' N! n \3 D) l
