The United States has signed off to release 172 million oil barrels following the International Energy Agency unanimously agreeing to release 400 million oil barrels.
The State Department declared in a media note that the Trump administration is "rapidly implementing President Trump’s vision to reopen and develop Venezuela’s oil industry for the shared benefit of the American and Venezuelan people."
Energy industry advocates are warning that aggressive green energy demands and climate-driven lawsuits are driving up costs for American consumers while weakening U.S. energy independence.
