President Joe Biden's executive order issued on his first day in office canceled construction of the Keystone Pipeline. Yet the Biden administration allowed construction of Nord Stream 2, which was blocked under former President Donald Trump's administration. . .
"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) continues to remind us he's been a leading voice in speaking out and taking action against Russia, particularly in the area of energy independence. On Friday, he introduced the Energy Freedom Act, which will secure such energy independence by making energy projects and pipelines far easier.
"The senator certainly has his grievances, as laid out in a press release. "In the past year with Joe Biden as president, the United States has lost its status as a net petroleum exporter, after achieving that goal in 2019 for the first time since 1949. Why? Because on day one of his administration, President Biden issued illegal and hostile orders aimed at American oil and gas producers, which have increased energy prices and directed profits to other oil exporting countries," Cruz reminded.
"These policies have poured billions of dollars into countries such as Russia and Iran, which use those funds to attack our allies and undermine the national security of America. President Biden has imposed more restrictions on U.S. oil companies than he has on Russian oil," he also explained. "With Iran, he has looked the other way as the regime busted through sanctions and raised their exports to more than one million barrels per day for the first time in almost three years.". . .
