Biden spurns US energy producers, turns to Venezuela for millions of barrels of oil: 'Outright hostility'
 [FoxNews] President Biden is showing "outright hostility" to the U.S. oil industry by turning to foreign countries — including adversaries — to supply America's energy needs rather than domestic producers, according to experts and industry insiders.The U.S. is on track to receive nearly 3 million barrels of crude oil from Venezuela this month, Reuters reported. That's because oil producer Chevron is shipping more than 100,000 barrels per day of Venezuelan crude to the U.S. under a license from the Treasury Department. Last year, the Biden administration authorized Chevron to expand production in Venezuela and to resume exports of Venezuelan oil. Venezuela, an OPEC member, has been under U.S. sanctions, with its oil frozen for the past several years, due to international outcry over the conduct of Venezuela's socialist government.
