POTUS approves use of US emergency oil reserves after attack on Saudi facilities

WaEx: President Trump authorized the use of U.S. emergency oil reserves after a series of drone attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities disrupted the country’s crude oil output.

“Based on the attack on Saudi Arabia, which may have an impact on oil prices, I have authorized the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, if needed, in a to-be-determined amount sufficient to keep the markets well-supplied,” Trump tweeted on Sunday.

“I have also informed all appropriate agencies to expedite approvals of the oil pipelines currently in the permitting process in Texas and various other States,” he continued. more

  2. Jethro, initially I wasn’t in favor of opening the strategic reserve but as long as pipeline permits being expedited I like it. What did the libs say? Oh yeah, “never let a crises go to waste”.

  3. My bro-in-law is the chief geologist at one of the biggest reserves on the Gulf Coast. The better half works for the largest pipeline company in America. They’re going to be very busy.

  4. Who’s fucking children are the Saudi’s holding hostage? These sand niggers are sitting in the cat bird seat of this entire planet. And I have no idea why.

    It ain’t cash, it ain’t geography, and it damn sure ain’t intellectual property.

  5. I cringe to think of how Her Royal Thighness, Hildebeast Clinton, would have dealt with anything as complex as this! We probably would have found out that she’d already sold our reserves to Putin.

    Our president makes lemonade from lemons and then sells it at a premium for the benefit of America and Americans. That’s why I still wake every day thanking God Almighty he’s my president.

  7. This is bullshit. IF BHO did this, we would not be happy.

    I love our POTUS, but if he will now explain how to replenish a savings bank account of oil? I will wait.

    We are not in a domestic crisis or foreign one so why the panic??

    Wait? Are we not energy independent I’ve heard?

    To me this is rash without enough explanation.

    Go ahead slap me @goldenfoxx, let’s compare this POTUS to past POTUS’s. We did not vote for that.

    @Lowell – I agree, let THEM (all that live in that region) figure this one out.

    OR let NATO fucking do it.

  8. Imagine a barrel of oil 200 feet across and 1,500 feet tall. Then imagine rows of them sitting underground at several locations up and down the Gulf Coast. That’s the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
