Tucker Carlson: Biden Selling U.S. Emergency Oil Reserves to China is Impeachable–Possibly Indictable Offense

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Wednesday night that Joe Biden should be impeached, and possibly indicted due to his “crazy and dangerous” energy policies.

The Biden administration has been selling U.S. emergency oil reserves to other countries—including our greatest adversary, China—while Americans struggle financially due to high gas prices.

The regime sent more than 5 million barrels of oil from the U.S. emergency reserves to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, Reuters reported, “even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs.”

Biden on March 31 authorized the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) for the next six months, totaling 180 million barrels..

According to U.S. Customs data, 470,000 barrels of sour crude were shipped from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy. “Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe,” Reuters reported.

Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance (RELI.NS) refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said. At least one cargo of crude from the West Hackberry SPR site in Louisiana was set to be exported in July, a shipping source added.

The releases are draining the SPR, which last month fell to the lowest since 1986, Reuters reported, yet gas prices have remained high.

“Crude and fuel prices would likely be higher if (the SPR releases) hadn’t happened, but at the same time, it isn’t really having the effect that was assumed,”  oil analyst Matt Smith told Reuters.

The regime’s decision to export the nation’s precious oil reserves to other countries appears to have blunted any positive impacts of the SPR releases.

As gas prices continued to soar over the 4th of July weekend, Biden ludicrously called on gas station owners to lower their prices.
