Saudi Arabia

Buchanan (R-FL-16) 06/23/2022: Tweet – “Instead of begging countries like Saudi Arabia to produce more oil and relying on gimmicks like an $0.18 gas tax holiday, President Biden should immediately approve pending oil and gas leases on federal lands and end his war of fossil fuels once and for all.”
