A group of American Republican senators has prepared a bill on the US abandonment from imports of Russian oil. In a joint statement promulgated on the website of Senator Roger Marshall, the authors of the bill call on the United States to restore independence in the field of energy.
“President Bidenu needs to resume the production of energy in America … With the previous administration, our country was energetically independent, but President Biden changed the course and turned such hostile countries as Russia, to the American gas station,” the statement said.
In the document, it is noted that in 2021, the United States imported almost 700 thousand barrels of oil from Russia every day. Senators emphasize that it is necessary to end, and as a solution, it is proposed to increase oil and gas production in the US themselves.
