The US Department of Energy intends to print out strategic reserves in order to stabilize oil prices on the domestic market, RIA Novosti reported.

Since January, gasoline in the US has risen in price from $ 0.62 to $ 0.83 per liter, thereby updating the seven-year record. The agency notes that the Americans blame OPEC + for the rise in prices.

Bloomberg sources report that the US is preparing measures against OPEC+. The agency announces the formation of the strongest coalition in several years to pressure the cartel, while the parties to the OPEC + agreement firmly refuse to increase the planned pace.

In the current situation, the United States decided to open a strategic reserve, the volume of which, 600 million barrels, is enough to fully compensate for all imports from OPEC + countries for more than a year.

According to Bloomberg, 3.1 million barrels have already been withdrawn from the reserve to date.
