U.S. calls on OPEC and its allies to pump more oil

U.S. President Joe Biden's top aides are pressuring OPEC and its allies to boost oil output to tackle rising gasoline prices that they see as a threat to global economic recovery.

Ad copy

Hypocrisy is nothing new in this White House. President Biden catered to supporters of the radical Green New Deal when he ended the Keystone Pipeline and used Executive Orders to cripple domestic oil production on the first day of his presidency. It was a hollow virtue signal to the left that resulted in the decimation of our domestic oil supply, the loss of thousands of quality energy-sector jobs, and increased gas prices to unreasonable heights. Now, Biden wants OPEC – made up of several countries who wish harm on America – to increase their oil production to make up for his failures. Make no mistake, this is not about clean energy. American oil and gas are some of the cleanest in the world. OPEC countries do not have the same standards we do and contribute heavily to global pollution. Whereas President Trump made decisions to strengthen America and make us energy independent regardless of the baseless criticism he received for it, Biden is willing to destroy the economy and irreparably damage domestic energy production to cater to the anti-science, anti-America socialist Democrats.
