President Joe Biden appeared in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Oct.

11.

His comments follow the Saudi-led OPEC+ announcement that it would institute a significant cut in the production of oil.

Straining the global gas supply is perceived as a boost to Russia's oil industry.

Russia's war in Ukraine is largely funded by the nation's oil industry.

There’s going to be some consequences for what they’ve done with Russia, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

Biden was hesitant to say exactly what the repercussions may be.

I’m not going to get into what I’d consider and what I have in mind.

But there will be — there will be consequences, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

It would be irresponsible of me to talk about what we would or wouldn’t do, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

However, Biden did indicate that U.S. actions will involve Congress.

He also offered a curt response to Tapper's question as to whether it was appropriate for the U.S. to reconsider its relations with Saudi Arabia.

Yes, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

This sentiment was echoed by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

We need to kind of reassess and have a different relationship with Saudi Arabia, Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, via CNN.

Biden's statements also come as other Democratic lawmakers have called for an immediate "freeze" of U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia
