    Using our strategic oil reserve in this capacity seems beyond irresponsible, especially for the fact that ANY of it went to China.... It must pay to have a son on the Chinese Energy commission. And pay well.

    You do know all this means is that drilling more wont decrease the price of gas if China is willing to pay top dollar.
    Its just means oil execs down to the lowliest gas supplier will sell to the highest bidder.

    Is this something Biden directed or was it done by the refineries themselves?

    Its the strategic oil reserve. I'd be hard pressed if the refineries have any control of it.

    Again, this is US oil already purchased and part of our strategic oil reserve. Has nothing to do with oil execs but has everything to do with the POTUS.

    Reading the Reuters article your source referenced said:
    The fourth-largest U.S. oil refiner, Phillips 66 (PSX.N), shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy, according to U.S. Customs data. Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe.

    Atlantic Trading & Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies (TTEF.PA), exported 2 cargoes of 560,000 barrels each, the data showed.

    Phillips 66 declined to comment on trading activity. ATMI did not respond to a request for comment.

    Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance (RELI.NS) refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.

    At least one cargo of crude from the West Hackberry SPR site in Louisiana was set to be exported in July, a shipping source added.

    The latest exports follow three vessels that carried SPR crude to Europe in April helping replace Russian crude supplies. read more

    Why would they include that if they were not involved?
    Did Biden order it only to be released to China?

    In what way?
    Im pretty sure its sold to the highest bidder, With the stipulation being only Americans can buy it, pretty much like any other government contract.
    But what do I know.

    If the government is selling it to china because they are the highest bidder...Yea Id be miffed. But then again Trump supporters who wanted Trump to run the government like a business shouldn't be.

    When oil is released from the SPR the energy companies bid on it. once they own it they can do with it what they choose.

    And that's the damn problem isn't it? OfCourse Biden could've wrote an EU that the SPR oil could only be used for American fuel and not sold to foreign entities, we do it all the time. Instead, this Biden group are horrible planners and can't get any damn thing right. It's crazy how inept they are, they probably are earmarking the earnings for a pet project. I can't understand that this wasn't even a thought of something that might could be an issue before we started tapping into our supply. Out of touch isn't the problem anymore, this is moronic ignorance that's running this Biden whitehouse. Now our oil is heading to f'ing china to increase their gas supply and the I'm sure they made a great profit off of it. Unbelievable.

    Could he have? Has it been done before? How would you guarantee or enforce it? Republicans would have screeched "GOVERNMENT OVERREACH" at the top of their squeaky little lungs anyway.

    The oil that's being shipped is sour crude, which has a high sulfur content and is more expensive to process to remove the impurities. Domestic refineries shy away from this oil for this type of reason. Foreign markets like it because it's still cheaper than brent crude.

    Ivanka meets with China on white house business, they give her Trademarks as a gift?

    "Ivanka Trump Wins China Trademarks, Then Her Father Vows to Save ZTE"

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/28/business/ivanka-trump-china-trademarks.html

    "six days before the ZTE announcement, China said it approved five of Ms. Trump's trademarks, according to data from China's trademark office."

    The 50 cent army probably gets an extra 5 cents per post for mentioning Trump.
