RE:RE:US to sell up to 45 million bbls oil from reserve as part oBiden will do whatever is in his power to do to bring down petroleum prices before the upcoming November elections including cajoling Saudi Arabia and restricting exports of petroleum products from the USA. It is his own sorry posterior he is worried about and nothing else. I really wouldn't be surprised if the reason for the extension of the Freeport shutdown is excessive regulatory hurdles (concerning the re-start) put up by his administration !!
