Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle have been ramping up pressure on the Biden administration to ban all Russian oil and gas imports, but the administration has said it wouldn't be possible without creating an even bigger hike in gas prices at home.
During his State of the Union last week, President Biden announced the U.S. is releasing 30 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to protect consumers from the rising prices, but the average continued to climb.the U.S. is now considering a ban on Russian oil, but that it will be "in coordination" with European and NATO allies.economy," he said on NBC. "We’ve seen the ruble in free fall. We see the economy heading into a deep recession.
"President Biden should immediately reverse his devastating policies that are causing gas prices to skyrocket and are giving Putin leverage against the rest of the world and return to the policies that were working under President Trump to create American energy dominance with gas prices below $2 a gallon," House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., who sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told Fox News Digital.

So Biden will talk to Venezuela and Iran to negotiate more oil production but he will not talk to US oil producers or remove US oil and gas restrictions? This is treason.
He did say he would do anything in his power to take gas prices back down. Anything but giving the old keystone a thumbs up.

Looks like Ripple Lawsuit is Over ❗️❗️❗️
We are at the same exact high gas prices where Barack Obama and joe Biden left off what a coincidence
Reminiscent of the disastrous Jimmy Carter administration in the late 1970s.
Time to nationalize US oil production, to stop the idling of our existing production capacity that is price gouging the American people.
