Sen. Schumer Says Biden Must Tap Oil from National Reserve to Ease Gas Prices

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is sounding the alarm against Joe Biden’s energy policies, saying he must increase the supply of oil in America’s domestic market.

“We’re here today because we need immediate relief at the gas pump and the place to look is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,” stated the lawmaker. “So that’s why I’m urging the administration to tap that reserve, get the prices down.”

Those reserves were built up by 45th President Donald Trump who stockpiled millions of barrels of oil during a period of low prices. On the contrary, Biden restricted oil drilling and blocked Keystone XL pipeline earlier this year, resulting in an explosive growth of fuel prices and a surge in inflation.
