#shorts On 1/24/2023, a reporter asked Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during briefing, “The House has passed bipartisan legislation that would ban the export of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Chinese companies. Given that oil has flowed to China from that reserve during both this administration and previous one, is that the type of reform that the President would potentially support?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, I think this is a little bit of what the Secretary was talking about just moments ago. This bill addresses a non-issue; we’re very clear on that. We focus — we’re focused on advancing legislation that would lower costs for American families, not raise them. So, I’m just going to leave it there.
