Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced bipartisan legislation Wednesday that would ban future sales of U.S. emergency oil reserves to China.
"The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a vital piece of our nation’s infrastructure that bolsters our energy and national security," Manchin, who serves as the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
REPUBLICANS PLAN OVERSIGHT INTO HOW BIDEN ADMIN'S GREEN PUSH BENEFITS CHINA: 'NOTHING IS OFF THE TABLE' The first such sale was part of a 20-million-barrel SPR sale awarded to eight companies in September 2021. The other two — both sales for 950,000 barrels of oil — came in April 2022 and July 2022, respectively, and shortly after Biden announced an aggressive SPR release strategy to combat rising gasoline prices.
