Americans will be stuck paying higher gas prices for the foreseeable future, thanks to President Joe Biden’s destructive energy policies and OPEC’s dismissal of his request to increase global oil production to counteract soaring prices in the United States.
Four sources told Reuters on Monday that there’s no need for OPEC to boost oil output over the next few months simply because American consumers are hurting.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries comprises 15 member countries, including two nations that are hostile to the United States, Iran and Venezuela. So it’s no surprise that U.S. foes aren’t eager to accommodate a request from the American president.
“One of the four sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters there was no need to release extra oil more quickly, while another said there was no concern that the planned schedule of increases would leave any demand unmet,” Reuters reported.
This demeaning OPEC move occurred shortly after Taliban terrorists took over much of Afghanistan amid Biden’s humiliating, chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops.

It’s obvious that the Saudis live in fear of both Sleepy Joe and Heels Up. /sarc
Golly. It’s a shame that we have no oil of our own.
SEVERAL MONTHS BACK WE WERE THE LEADING PRODUCER
That’s what you get when Dementia Joe cuts off oil pipelines in America and slashes oil exploration and drilling in ANWR and other federal lands.
In the Demoncrat “American Rescue Graft to the D Politicians Graft Plan” is the massive rise in the Gasoline and Diesel Motor Fuel Tax still in there? If it is we are ALL SCREWED! (I’ve noticed that there are now spots on TV pro and con about this bankrupt the middle class bill…
I wonder if he will ask China for oil.
And batteries for his electric cars...
Biden Lets China Grab World’s Biggest Lithium Deposits With Botched Afghanistan Exit

Argentina has a lot of lithium. The Argentinean government won’t allow any sizable mining operations without direct Argentinian oversight. In other words... they don’t want another 17th and 18th century happening down there.
Oh come on. How could we go from the leading producer to begging for help in just a couple of months? Thats crazy talk and ...
Oh. I see. Yes, yes. It would take an immense concerted effort to put us in this position in so short a time but when you need bad decisions backed with worse action to make the resuts exceed your wildest fears, Biden / Harris is the team that gets it done!
But his constituents are so obtuse and uninformed they literally cannot make the connection between thousands of American citizens trapped in Afghanistan and Dementia Joe's incompetence. Etc.
High gas prices? Rising food prices? Liberals are so stupid they cannot understand it's their potus doing all the harm.
That's the maddening part.
Biden asked OPEC to pump the oil he won’t let us pump at home.
Biden asked Russian cyber hackers to stick to the American targets he approves of them attacking.
Biden asked the Taliban to let us escape from Afghanistan.
It’s a good thing he’s not all there mentally, or he would resign in embarrassment.
Destroying the US energy system BEFORE establishing its replacement was like jumping out of the plane before packing your chute.
Fortunately for me I just converted my gas guzzler to run on unicorn farts!
But we DO have oil - all sleepy joe has to do is LET US PRODUCE IT!!
Don’t look now, but he just did the same thing in Afghanistan
