Karine Jean-Pierre Struggles to Explain Whether Biden “Was Aware” That Millions of Barrels of Oil Would Be Sent Overseas (VIDEO)

Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday struggled to explain whether Joe Biden was even aware that millions of barrels of oil would be sent overseas.

While Joe Biden berates gas station owners for high gasoline prices, his regime is selling the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) to Europe, India and China, as Reuters reports.

“More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs”, Reuters writes.

“About 1 million barrels per day is being released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) through October,” Reuters wrote. “The flow is draining the SPR, which last month fell to the lowest since 1986. … Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.”

The Gateway Pundit reported back then that the oil reserves were expected to go to India and China.

And that is exactly what happened.

The Biden crime family has received $31 million from companies tied to the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry for State Security. The only explanation for the Biden Regime’s treasonous actions in wartime is that they are “intentionally trying to harm the United States”, said Tucker Carlson. “If that’s not an indictable offense, it’s certainly an impeachable one.”

Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if the was aware that some of the oil was going overseas.

KJP struggled to explain exactly what Joe Biden was aware of and blamed the oil companies.

“The oil companies decide what – you know, we cannot control what oil companies do with their oil,” she said.
