WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States could boost its domestic production of oil and gas instead of begging other countries to increase their supplies amid a looming global energy crisis, former US President Donald Trump said during a speech to the Hispanic Leadership Conference
"We’re begging Venezuela, we’re begging Saudi Arabia, we’re begging everybody for oil, and we have more than everybody right under our feet," Trump said on Wednesday. "We need to rapidly expand domestic oil and gas production to restore energy independence immediately, just like we had two years ago. That will also help end the war with Russia going into Ukraine."
Trump said the United States should send fuel to Europe to help the continent this winter with a prospective energy crisis, sparked by sanctions on Russian exports.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus (OPEC+) agreed to reduce production by 2 million barrels per day beginning in November - a decision condemned as "shortsighted" by the Biden administration.
