Fox News reported that the U.S. strategic oil reserve has fallen to its lowest level in 30 years.
The US strategic oil reserve has fallen to a record low for the last 30 years, said Tim Stewart, president of the US Oil and Gas Industry Association, in an interview with the US television channel Fox News.
He noted that the administration of the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, has spent 40 per cent of the national reserves over the past year.
In his opinion, the reserves are being spent so that the current administration can safely pass the next electoral cycle. The head of the US Oil and Gas Industry Association called such a low level of oil reserves a threat to national security.
According to Stewart, the reserve will have to be replenished with heavy oil, while in the United States are mainly produced light low-sulfur oil, so fuel will have to be imported into the country from abroad.
Earlier, the American magazine Newsweek recognised that the United States is constantly defeated by Russia and China in its attempts to impose its opinion on other participants in the UN General Assembly. Thus, according to the publication, representatives of the Russian Federation and China have a more convincing position during discussions of various issues at the UN General Assembly meetings than the United States.
