President Trump promised during his campaign that he would increase domestic oil production to lower gas prices and reduce reliance on foreign energy sources. Trump’s administration also exempted oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act to boost domestic energy supplies amid the Iran war.
Wondering if this is scripted Wrestlemania ?
Obviously buying fuel at the closest country and lowest price is in a country’s best interest. Sure glad the US no longer buys or needs to buy Middle Eastern oil. Europe will sooner or later need to buy and use Russian hydrocarbons or their political class will be hung out to dry. China will be the ME’s best customer.
India ls also very dependent on ME oil.
War in the Ukraine has taken on new dimensions with Zelensky publicly attacking Hungarian PM Victor Orban and also refusing to reopen the Druzhba pipeline, which carries Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia via Ukraine. He insists that the pipeline – which Hungary depends on for more than 80% of its oil imports – was damaged in a Russian attack. Budapest claims that satellite photos prove the Druzhba oil pipeline is visibly operational, and that Zelensky is lying in order to force both countries off Russian oil or crowbar Budapest into backing more aid for Kiev.
