RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia reiterated it would pump as much oil as needed to meet demand from customers, but said this was unlikely to lead to any drop in fuel prices in the United States, a U.S. official said on Friday.

For now, the world's top oil exporter sees no unmet demand for its oil, the official said.

President George W. Bush met Saudi King Abdullah in Riyadh on Friday to press for Saudi help to tame record oil prices. The U.S. official briefed the press after the meeting.
