"This is a time for all Nations to consider seriously what they can do to correct the supply /demand imbalance," said US Secretary of energy Dan Brouillette .

America would "take the surpluses from The Market " due to the storage of "as much oil as possible," he added.

President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the United States would be output of 250,000 barrels per day in additional reductions in the oil to help reduce Mexico's contribution to the global reduction.

Mr Lopez Obrador, the rising oil output-one of the priorities of his government, said U.S. President Donald Trump had spoken with him, to help the on Thursday and offered before Mexico announced that it would issue 100,000 barrels per day.

"President Trump said the United States is committed to the reduction of 250,000 (Barrel), on top of what it wanted to do, for Mexico, in order to compensate for," He Said .

Opec+ Russia, includes had said it would help cut production in may and June from 10 million barrels per day to support prices. The incisions are then loosened gradually until April 2022.

Opec said the cuts would be relaxed, to eight million barrels per day between July and December. It would later be re-softened to six million barrels of oil from January 2021.

However, Brent crude oil closed at 4%, to $31. 48 a barrel on Thursday, the agreement began to take shape. Despite the scale of the cuts agreed to, they are unlikely to compensate for the sharp decline in the demand for oil.

A telephone conference takes place on Friday between the energy Ministers of the G20, the hopes for the conclusion of the agreement. It is hosted by Saudi Arabia .

Opec Secretary-General Mohammed Barkindo called on to fight for the action for the oil industry, the effects of the Corona-Virus-pandemic.

On Thursday, He Said : "It's a grizzly shadow is hanging over all of us. We don't want to drive the shadow of the us. It is a crushing and long-term impact on the industry as a whole. "

The global Corona-Virus-pandemic hits, the demand for oil in March, restrictions on business and consumer activity have been introduced in dozens of countries in quick succession.

Crude had already fallen, to just over $31 (£24. 90; €28. 30) a run to the beginning of the month, of the agreed to previously with The Other members of Opec. By The End of March

Some analysts have asked whether all agreed-upon cuts would succeed, the increase in The Price of oil, given the prospect of a sharp and potentially prolonged global economic downturn, The International monetary Fund and the World Trade organisation have warned.

If it is not suppressed, the lower prices could lead to the wholesale oil market, to cheaper costs for some materials, such as plastic. This would possibly be reflected in the prices of goods of daily needs. However, producer countries will face tough cuts in revenue.
