A ban on Russian oil is exactly what is needed—we should have never been funding Putin’s war! But the current price spikes in gas didn’t happen overnight. President Biden’s obstruction of U.S. oil & gas production drove up prices over the last year.
President Biden: "Today I'm announcing the United States is targeting the main artery of Russia's economy. We're banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy."

Shell, Chevron and others had already banned the purchase of Russian oil imports. Typical Biden stunt for optics.

I think Mr. President forget to mention that he is lifting the banning of oil and gas of the tyrannical regime in #Tehran

We’re not punishing Putin. We’re punishing ordinary Americans.

Defensive gaslighting much? So old. Boring. Lack of imagination. People pay you $179k a year in their hard earned tax money to do things, not not do things.

Lies. In 2020 Trump cut a deal with OPEC to reduce production worldwide by 10%. This reduction in production is to blame for increased demand and higher prices. Trump is directly responsible for higher gas prices. cnbc.com/2020/04/13/opec-cut…

Honestly feels like oil companies have purposely kept supply low so they can drive up the price.
