Trump authorizes release of oil from US reserves after Saudi attack

WASHINGTON, Sept 16, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – President Donald Trump announced on
Sunday that he has authorized the release of oil from US strategic reserves
after drone attacks cut Saudi Arabia’s crude production by half.

“Based on the attack on Saudi Arabia, which may have an impact on oil
prices, I have authorized the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve, if needed, in a to-be-determined amount,” Trump tweeted.
