<p>Millions of barrels of oil President <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration">Joe Biden</a> released from the United States’ Strategic Petroleum Reserve found their way to <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/europe">European</a> and Asian nations, including <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/china">China</a>, according to a Tuesday report from <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-us-reserves-head-overseas-gasoline-prices-stay-high-2022-07-05/">Reuters</a>.</p>
<p>Biden has frequently <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/03/31/fact-sheet-president-bidens-plan-to-respond-to-putins-price-hike-at-the-pump/">touted</a> the release of one million barrels of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/oil-and-gas">oil</a> per day as an “unprecedented” move to “provide a historic amount of supply” as Americans face surging prices at the pumps. Indeed, the national average <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/gas-prices">price of gas</a> in the United States is currently $4.80 per gallon, according to <a href="https://gasprices.aaa.com/">AAA</a>, with the national average temporarily surpassing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gas-prices-hit-grim-national-average-of-5-per-gallon">$5.00 per gallon</a> last month.</p>
<p>However, Reuters found through customs data that at least five million barrels of oil were exported to Europe and Asia last month as the strategic reserve drains to its lowest level since 1986. American oil refiner Phillips 66, for instance, shipped 470,000 barrels of sour crude from Texas to Trieste, Italy, while Atlantic Trading &amp; Marketing (ATMI) — a division of French entity TotalEnergies — exported two cargoes of 560,000 barrels each.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, industry sources told the outlet that more crude oil was sent to China, India, and the Netherlands.</p>
<p>When asked about the report, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1544418398230265859?s=20&amp;t=3Bp6RKMmj5xZhavV4a-X7g">said</a> that she was not aware of the matter and needed to &#8220;look into it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fuel costs across the world have risen since the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/russia">Russian</a> invasion of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/ukraine">Ukraine</a> — yet the Biden administration has pursued policies such as nixing expansions to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/peter-doocy-asks-for-a-straight-answer-on-keystone-gets-the-runaround-from-jen-psaki">Keystone XL Pipeline</a> last year and delaying new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unacceptable-cruz-gop-senators-demand-end-to-oil-and-gas-lease-permit-delays">drilling permits</a>. Beyond releasing fuel reserves, Biden has also resorted to pleading with oil companies to cut into their own profits.</p>
<p>“There is no question that Vladimir Putin is principally responsible for the intense financial pain the American people and their families are bearing,” Biden wrote in a recent <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/read-bidens-full-letter-to-oil-companies-demanding-help-on-gas-prices-historically-high-profit-margins-are-unacceptable/">letter</a> to seven oil and gas companies. “But amid a war that has raised gasoline prices more than $1.70 per gallon, historically high refinery profit margins are worsening that pain.”</p>
<p>Biden has likewise set his sights on gas stations — which run on margins as low as 1.4%, according to industry research company <a href="https://thehustle.co/the-economics-of-gas-stations/">IBISWorld</a>.</p>
<p>“My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril,” Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oil-group-blasts-biden-tweet-tells-intern-who-posted-this-to-take-econ-101">said</a> on social media. “Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.”</p>
<p>The U.S. Oil and Gas Association — a petroleum industry advocacy group — responded to Biden by affirming that they are “working on it.” The organization wished Biden a happy Fourth of July and asked him to “please make sure” the White House intern who posted the tweet “registers for Econ 101 for the fall semester.”</p>
<p>Beyond gas station prices, analysts at JPMorgan Chase are warning that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jp-morgan-makes-dire-and-terrifying-prediction-on-future-oil-prices">oil prices could triple</a> to $380 a barrel as Russian officials continue their invasion of Ukraine. “It is likely that the government could retaliate by cutting output as a way to inflict pain on the West,” the analysts wrote. “The tightness of the global oil market is on Russia’s side.”</p>
<p>Yet crude inventories in the United States are currently at their lowest levels since 2004, according to Reuters, as refineries along the gulf coast operate at nearly 98% capacity.</p>
