Cutting the oil supply to drive up costs a month before the election is the "crown prince refus(ing) to meddle in US elections?" You may be the only person in the world who believes that disinformation. It was ALL ABOUT influencing our election.
WHY WOULD THE CROWN PRINCE OF SAUDI ARABIA CUT OIL PRODUCTION FOR PUTIN? SAUDI ARABIA IS RUNNING OUT OF OIL TO EXPORT. IT WILL NEED TO START IMPORTING OIL IN A COUPLE OF DECADES. THE PRINCE CHOSE A FELLOW AUTOCRAT OVER A FREE COUNTRY THAT QUESTIONS HIS ACTIONS.
