Iraqi Oil Minister: In contact with OPEC+ members to discuss ways to stop oil price collapse
|"Flooding oil markets is not in the best interest of producing countries and harms their economies," Iraq's Oil Minister said on Tuesday and added that they were in contact with other members of the OPEC+ to discuss ways to stop oil prices from collapsing further.
"Any oil price war to acquire bigger market share doesn't serve producing countries," the minister added.
