POTUS is ready to do what needs to be done …
President Donald Trump reassured Americans that after the drone attacks on oil manufacturing in Saudi Arabia, there would be “plenty of oil.”
“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 sufficient to keep the markets well-supplied,” Trump tweeted.
The president remarked that following Saturday’s drone attacks on two of Saudi Arabia’s petroleum installations, oil prices rose 15 percent. Iran-backed Houthi rebels asserted responsibility for the assaults that cut output by 5.7 million barrels per day, sidelining over 5 percent of worldwide oil manufacturing.
Trump said the U.S.’s response to the attackers was “locked and loaded.”
“There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!” he added.
Trump also pledged to concentrate in the United States on speeding up oil manufacturing.
“I have also informed all appropriate agencies to expedite approvals of the oil pipelines currently in the permitting process in Texas and various other States,” he continued.
The United States had enjoyed exceptionally low gas prices under the administration of President Donald Trump before the attacks.

Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!

I only hope that the large gas companies (Exxon, Mobil, Sunoco) do what President Trump stated.. They never did under any other President and the costs SKY-ROCKETED..
Whether the anti-American democrap/fascists like it or not; Trump WILL defend America on all fronts; it is time to deal with Iran.
