As gas prices skyrocket along with rarely seen inflation, Biden has turned to begging OPEC nations to increase oil production.
As gas prices skyrocket along with rarely seen inflation, the Biden administration has turned to begging OPEC nations to increase oil production.
On Wednesday, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan released a statement saying that current OPEC production is not enough.
Sullivan stated, “Higher gasoline costs, if left unchecked, risk harming the ongoing global recovery. The price of crude oil has been higher than it was at the end of 2019, before the onset of the pandemic.”
He continued, “While OPEC+ recently agreed to production increases, these increases will not fully offset previous production cuts that OPEC+ imposed during the pandemic until well into 2022. At a critical moment in the global recovery, this is simply not enough.”
One of President Biden’s first acts in office was to shutdown the Keystone XL oil pipeline project, and inflation has in some sectors has reached levels not seen in decades.
How much more anti-American can the Biden policies get-reduce American oil and gas production, call on foreign. Dictatorships (OPEC) to increase oil and gas production,cancel American pipeline, approve Russian pipeline so Putin can dominate Europe-MORE

We are truly in the hands of morons.
Wow I can’t believe this guy got the most votes of any president.
We have been given into the hands of the Devil, these morons are just his helpers.
Get ready for much worse folks. It is coming and coming fast and hell is coming with it.
Begging other countries for THEIR oil while bashing ours at home.
What a worthless POS.
And all he had to do was leave shit alone.
Yes, but The Biden Crime Family is doing great with those bribes.
Under Trump not only were we energy independent but an oil exporting nation as well.
Beg - Back - Better
Not just about the pipeline...Took drilling contracts off the table across the country.
Bizarre does not even start to cover this. If the objective is to keep oil prices down all over the world, then why is the ramping up of DOMESTIC oil production here in the US not a priority? As it is, we are competing with oil-poor nations with every barrel of oil we import. Isn’t that just shifting the burden to those less able to carry it? If the US again became a net EXPORTER of energy, it would keep world crude oil prices in a much more confined level, with fewer price surges followed by oil gluts.
If the Keystone pipeline were reopened, the number one nation we would be importing from would be Canada. And we would STILL be a net exporter.
Morons voted in by morons.
Bided in begging OPEC and the Taliban. Who is next?
What an idiot. Trump turned things around and America became a net exporter of energy. That was ruined in a matter of months.
Days.............................
sloppy joe making another mess...
Dude! The right answer is for Biden to order all Telsa’s owners to drive around all the IEC vehicle owners. We need to save the planet after all.....
