US Energy Chief to Seek $20 Billion to Refill Oil Reserve, Bloomberg Reports

Wright told Bloomberg News in an interview that the initiative would restore holdings “just close to the top” to maintain efficient operating status.

Trump said last month that his administration would quickly fill up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. He has criticized his predecessor, Joe Biden, for tapping the reserve to bring down the price of gasoline.
