Malinowski (D-NJ-7) 04/04/2022: Twitter thread – “2 years ago, President Trump told Saudi Arabia to raise oil prices or lose US troops. It was the right way to deal with the Saudis (from which Biden could learn)! But it also put oil company profits over consumers and made it harder to cut gas prices now. Special Report: Trump told Saudi: Cut oil supply or lose U.S. military support - sources | Reuters I'm glad President Biden ordered another major release of oil from our strategic reserves, and hope Congress will take more steps to lower energy prices soon. But more pressure on Saudi is still needed. If they won't produce oil in a crisis, what is the value of our partnership?”
