The OPEC oil cartel and other oil producers agreed Sunday to boost oil prices by cutting nearly 10 million barrels a day in production, or a tenth of global supply, according to several national energy officials who participated in the talks.

Mexico's energy minister said Sunday on Twitter that the group of nations agreed to cut 9.7 million barrels a day cut to begin May 1. Kuwait Oil Minister Khaled al-Fadhel tweeted similar information Sunday.

Iran's oil ministry also tweeted confirming the 9.7 million cut for May and June. It said the so-called OPEC+ countries agree to have Mexico reduce its output by 100,000 barrels only for those two months. That had been a sticking point for the accord meant to boost global energy prices.The agreement would be an unprecedented global pact to stabilize the market.

Mexico had initially blocked the deal but its president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, had said Friday that he had agreed with U.S. President Donald Trump that the U.S. will compensate what Mexico cannot add to the proposed cuts. "The United States will help Mexico along and they'll reimburse us sometime at later date when they're prepared to do so," Trump said at a White House press briefing Friday.

Iran begins lifting restrictions after brief virus lockdownIran began reopening government offices Saturday after a brief nationwide lockdown to help contain the worst coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East, which has killed more than 4,300 people in the country. Conservatives want the virus to continue spreading over there. It’s amusing when CTV and CBC take any information coming from Iran and China as news as opposed to government propaganda, which it is. Smart country. They must know something that we don’t know because it seems to me our “expert Dr’s” think we should be in lock down for 3-4 months. While losing millions of jobs. It’s ok though these are experts who have no clue what they’re doing or saying. Good for Iran.
