US President Biden: Gasoline Prices Soar Due to Oil Company Fraud in the United States. His words on Tuesday, November 23, are quoted by TASS.
According to the American leader, high prices are the result of the machinations of oil companies.
Earlier on November 23, immediately after Biden announced the start of the sale of oil from strategic reserves and the support of these actions from the UK, South Korea, Japan, China and India, the cost of raw materials skyrocketed. At 5:05 pm Moscow time, Brent was trading at $ 80.9 a barrel (plus 1.52 percent by the start of the trading session), while WTI traded at $ 77.65 (plus 1.2 percent).
State Duma Deputy Mikhail Delyagin in a conversation with “Lenta.ru” explained that the release of 50 million barrels of oil from the US strategic reserves is a clear sign of an emergency. According to him, this will help keep prices down for a while, but the problems caused by the excessive enthusiasm for green technologies will not go away.
