Trump Energy Secretary Chris Wright confronts Dana Bash
Ukrainian actions destroyed Russian refineries while Moscow banned diesel exports and China significantly reduced shipments. Russia imports gasoline despite being a historical net exporter, making the refining market very tight. The Biden admin closed over a dozen refineries in the US. Gavin Newsom in California closed two significant refineries just in the past 12 months. Democratic policies for fifteen years constrained hydrocarbon production here. We are rowing in the opposite direction with efforts to expand refiner capacity. Venezuela will contribute to a rise in refinery capacity alongside oil production for global supply. Trump Energy Sec. Chris Wright confronted CNN's Dana Bash regarding her criticism of President Trump on gas prices. The interaction involved mic-dropping Dana Bash. Fake news outlets won't admit President Trump is the energy president.
