I have to wonder as this war will clearly drag on, if our golden leader will stop exports of US oil to lower US prices. Taking jon the oil company could be his undoing, but so could $5/gal gas.
It’s definitely a difficult balancing act. Limiting exports might lower prices at home in the short term, but it could also disrupt global markets and affect allies who rely on U.S. energy supplies. Do you think cutting exports would actually make a noticeable difference for American drivers?
If selling oil at the pre not-a-war price was profitable and exports were limited, the US price for oil would drop to that level from the supply glut. I do not think damage to allies is much of a concern for our golden leader. A cut of the windfall profit would be required to avoid the export limitation.
