Stopping Biden from Raiding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
One of the first acts of the 118th Congress was to pass H.R. 22, Protecting America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act to stop President Biden from putting our national security at risk by selling crude oil from the United States’ Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to the Chinese Communist Party.
Multiple times, starting in November of 2021, President Biden has raided SPR and attacked American energy. Starting on his first day in office, the price of oil and gasoline at the pump subsequently rose dramatically, crushing middle class families. The price kept going up; what went down was America's national security.
This week, I spoke on the House floor to call out President Biden for depleting our reserves to mask how his far-left climate policies have raised energy costs for American families.
