Republicans Slam Biden For Allowing SPR Oil To Be Shipped Overseas_我的网站

A |     After a report came out Wednesday revealing that 5 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) had been sent to Asian and European countries, Republicans have been slamming President Biden for the mistake.,In late March, Biden announced that he was releasing 1 million barrels a day from the SPR for eight months, in an attempt to lower fuel prices for Americans that have been skyrocketing since the West issued harsh sanctions on Russia.,But, according to the report, instead of going to U.S. refineries, 5 million barrels of crude oil went to other countries, including China.,"The American people deserve answers as to why our emergency energy reserves are being sent to foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party, compromising our energy security and national security," stated House Energy and Commerce Committee Member Cathy McMorris Rodgers in a statement to Fox News Digital.,Meanwhile, Michigan Representative Fred Upton, also a Republican, tweeted on Thursday that "The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is meant for national emergencies – not policy blunders,” while noting that the administration still has not answered his and McMorris Rodgers’ letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm asking about how Biden’s release of the SPR may be emboldening China. That letter was sent in early June, before the report of the missing 5 million barrels was released by Reuters.,"What do they have to hide?" McMorris Rodgers asked when speaking about the letter.,Instead of tapping the SPR, Republicans would prefer Biden authorize increased domestic production of oil.,"President Biden needs to remember that our strategic energy reserves are for emergencies, not to cover up bad policies. America needs to flip the switch and increase our capacity to produce and refine oil here at home," McMorris Rodgers stated. "Now is not the time to use our strategic stockpile.",The SPR is currently at its lowest level since December 1985.,“After multiple failed attempts to lower U.S. gas prices by robbing our emergency strategic petroleum reserve, will someone please inform the decision makers at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that we have much larger and more strategic undeveloped energy resources that can be extracted, processed, and utilized cleaner and safer right here at home benefiting American workers and businesses?" Bruise Westerman, a Republican representative from Arkansas told Fox News Digital.,Meanwhile, U.S. crude inventories have reached their lowest levels since 2004, even as refineries are running near their peak capacity. According to Reuters, U.S. Gulf Coast refineries are running at 97.9% utilization.,At a press conference on Tuesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she was not aware of the report. At Thursday’s press conference, Jean-Pierre did not address the report but did she call Biden tapping the SPR “historic” and mentioned the administration’s call to issue a holiday on federal taxes on gasoline.。    8月26日，国务院台办举行例行新闻发布会。有记者问，近日，赖清德在金门“8·23炮战68周年”活动上再次翻炒“新两国论”，鼓噪“以武拒统”。对此有何评论？          　　发言人张晗答问表示，赖清德顽固坚持“台独”分裂立场，不断宣扬“台独”歪理邪论，蓄意歪曲历史，极力渲染所谓“中国威胁”，不断煽动“反中抗中”，妄图“以武拒统”“以武谋独”，一步步把台湾推向兵凶战危的险境，是不折不扣的两岸和平破坏者、台海危机制造者。         　　张晗表示，正告赖清德及民进党当局，统一大势不可阻挡，“以武谋独”加速灭亡。希望广大台湾同胞认清赖清德谋“独”挑衅的欺骗性和危害性，同我们一道坚决反对“台独”分裂，以实际行动维护自身安全福祉和台海和平稳定。(新华社 记者王承昊、李寒芳)                【编辑:李岩】。
