White House and congressional leaders are eyeing several responses to protect U.S. consumers, ranging from an effort to wrest market control away from OPEC, limiting U.S. companies’ energy exports, and easing sanctions on unfriendly oil-producing nations — each of which carries serious potential downsides for American interests.
For now, the White House is pledging to work with Congress on a bill to allow the U.S. to sue oil cartels for antitrust violations...
The so-called NOPEC bill — No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels — would change antitrust laws to allow the Justice Department to sue nations that restrain trade in oil, natural gas or any petroleum product.

What in the WORLD are they thinking!?
Wait, wut?
What a ridiculous concept since we are not included as a possible guilty party.
King Puppet has got his diaper in a twist, it appears...
In that case I guess Putin can sue NATO for sanctions
The US is run by idiots
“....protect U.S. consumers....”
They misspelled F*(#.
Nothing will erode US power more than picking fights with the Chinese, Russians & Saudis at the same time.
Total morons are in charge.
Idiots, kleptocrats & psychopaths.
Kim Jong-il: Or erse what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very, very angry with you... And we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
And OPEC can do what they have done before, cut the oil off to the west, then what Joe? That will kill Europe for sure and impact us to a degree unless we can drill and produce full out. This will backfire in a big manner.
What a Charlie Fox operation.
The first thing Joe Biden did in office was to cut OUR oil production.
For him to complain about resource extraction policies in foreign countries is a sad, sick joke. Like Joe himself.
Yeah, consult Congress - the Saudis face the wrath of Liz Cheney and the entire J6 “Select” Committee. They’ll cave.
The real thing is worse than the movies. Idiocracy. Being There.
Joe Bidet just can’t leave bad enough alone.
To be sure the mullahs in Iran are shaking in their boots with the thought of being sued by the great satan. Good Gawd, will congress get some stones and remove this feeb in cheef?
Anything is better than reviving our own oil industry.
Better Dead than NOT Green!
Armageddon? C’mon, man!
Harris/Bootiejudge 2024!
Hail Hydra!
Yeah, because nations like Russia are subject to the American legal system.
These people are fools in addition to being evil.
