Wright: We did tap into the strategic petroleum reserve and we are releasing oil today—unlike the Biden administration that did it for political purposes, they sold the oil and permanently reduced the oil. We’re trading barrels.

The US is “more than happy” to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gasoline prices if needed, Energy Secretary Chris Wright tells Margaret Brennan. But the reserve, which he said has over 400 million barrels of oil, wouldn’t address the logistics issue. Oil tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively ceased, where 1/5 of the world’s oil usually transits.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright revealed that Biden drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserves so rapidly—to drop prices before the election—that it damaged half the facilities. The true damage done by the commissars actually running the country for Biden wont be known for years！

Duplicitous Jen Psaki acts like Chicken Little regarding the strategic oil reserves but neglects to mention the Biden administration’s fault in causing and exacerbating the problem in the first place: Jen Psaki: “Governments around the world are considering tapping their own strategic oil reserves to compensate. Now, the country with the biggest strategic oil reserve is supposed to be the United States. And when Trump took office, he promised he would refill America's strategic oil reserves, quote, right to the top. But a year later, when Trump desperately needs those reserves to keep oil prices low as Iran chokes off key oil routes, they are still less than 60% full.” Chris Wright: “We have we have about 415 million barrels in storage right now. Very unfortunately, the Biden administration drained almost 300 million barrels out, mostly to lower gasoline prices for a midterm election without disruptions in energy flows. That's not what the SPR is about. The SPR is about this when we have short term disruptions in flows to replace those flows. But, Dana, we will simultaneously sell this oil in the near term when it's needed and buy long term oil, meaning say 12 months down the road and we'll pull out 170 million barrels and we'll put back in 200 million barrels in the next year. So we'll actually have more oil in our SPR a year from now than we do today.” Jen, you might want to circle back to the facts when you get a chance.

🚨 BREAKING: Interior Secretary Doug Burgum just pulled the curtain back on what happened with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, saying Democrats and Chuck Schumer blocked President Trump when he wanted to refill it while oil prices had collapsed to around $20 per barrel. According to Burgum, Trump saw a rare opportunity to secure America’s energy reserves at historically low prices, strengthening the country’s strategic position for years to come. Instead, that plan was stopped in Washington. What happened later went in the opposite direction. The reserve was drained heavily during the Biden years, with Burgum arguing it was done to ease gas prices before the midterm elections rather than to protect long-term energy security. Now the focus has shifted back to confronting the instability coming from the Iranian regime, which Burgum says has spent decades holding global energy markets hostage. Removing that pressure from the system could reshape oil prices, economic stability and security across the world for years to come.

Joe Biden has destroyed the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by selling it to China. That’s YOUR oil. This morning, the House passed my amendment to force Biden to refill the SPR to the level it was on his first full day in office.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve should be used strategically, not politically. Biden tapped the SPR to try to win an election. President Trump is tactically trading every barrel for a 25% return in the next year, adding 40 million barrels to the SPR without a taxpayer dollar.

Hannity: Trump is planning to release oil from the strategic reserve, and that's exactly what the reserve is meant for. To respond to a temporary shortage brought on by extraordinary events, but to Joe Biden, it was a political tool used to bring down gas prices, oh, ahead of the midterms in 2022

Under Joe Biden, his Energy Secretary laughed when asked about their plan to lower gas prices. Under President Trump, Secretary Chris Wright has noted that gas prices will fall in a matter of weeks. One waged war on American energy. The other unleashes it.

The US Deputy Energy Secretary just said that 3 million barrels of oil a month is the "physical limit" they can refill The Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Despite this, the SPR was drained by 33/m barrels in September 2022 alone. At this rate, it would take over eight years to refill the SPR to the same level it was when Biden took office (-293 million barrels).

DeSantis with a #GOPDebate lie "Finally, we need to lower gas prices. We need to open up all energy production." Fact Check: Gas prices are high because the oil is owned by the oil companies. Drilling more doesn't lower gas prices. It increases Big Oil profits.

Biden has raided 40% of America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep gas prices artificially low so his approval rating doesn't drop even more. This bill simply requires he provide a plan to replenish it before he raids it. This shouldn't be partisan. It's common sense.

TRUMP EYES RUSSIAN OIL AS U.S. STRATEGIC RESERVES HIT HISTORIC LOWS President Trump is demanding that the DOJ immediately investigate oil companies for failing to lower gasoline prices, accusing them of gouging American consumers. At the same time, Redacted is learning that the Trump administration is planning to lift sanctions on Russian oil, similar to its recent move on Iranian oil. With America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve at historic lows, bringing Russian oil back onto global markets is increasingly being viewed as a strategic necessity. Without additional supply, the United States and the global economy could face an unprecedented energy crisis. What does this shift mean for energy markets, inflation, and the future of U.S. sanctions policy?

I think the president is absolutely paying a political price for $4 gasoline right now, especially as the midterm narrative is already starting much earlier than usual. But what happens between now and November is still unknown. If oil prices fall back to the $70–$75 range, gas prices could stop being a major issue altogether. The challenge is timing even if oil drops immediately, there’s still oil sitting in inventory, tankers already on the water, and supply moving through refineries at higher prices. Realistically, it would take about three weeks for consumers to fully feel lower gas prices at the pump.
