The House on Thursday passed a bill to prevent the sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Chinese-owned entities in response to Biden's drawdown of SPR reserves.
She added that some of the oil that was not sold directly to Chinese-owned entities ended up in China’s hands.
While most Democrats voted for the bill, the debate featured only Democrats who tried to dismiss it by saying sales to China are the GOP's fault because congressional Republicans in 2015 lifted the longstanding ban on crude oil."As a result, our exports of crude oil to China surged, averaging a half billion every day during the last year of the Trump administration," said Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., will chair the House Energy and Commerce Committee in the new Congress, and urged lawmakers to pass her bill to stop Strategic Petroleum Reserve sales to China.
