On Tuesday, The Daily Caller<\/a> reported that the Biden administration is preparing to ease sanctions on Venezuelan oil imports into America.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Biden administration is expected to soon announce it would ease sanctions on Venezuelan oil amid the ongoing energy crisis, several media outlets reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The federal government will ease \u201csome\u201d of the energy sanctions on Venezuela, two senior administration officials told<\/a> CNN. In addition, U.S. oil corporation Chevron will be allowed to enter into negotiations with Venezuelan state-owned firm PDVSA over potential continued operations in the South American oil-rich nation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur experience buying Russian energy should have taught President Biden that buying energy from tyrants is a dangerous proposition,\u201d Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member John Barrasso said in a statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYet President Biden continues to reward our enemies by waiving sanctions while his administration does its best to kill American energy production. Funding despots isn\u2019t in the national interest. Supporting American energy is,\u201d he continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venezuela consistently ranks as one of the least \u201cfree\u201d countries in the world, according<\/a> to Freedom House.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Biden administration has increasingly moved to restrict<\/a> further domestic oil and gas production. The Department of the Interior canceled<\/a> the three remaining federal offshore oil and gas lease sales last week and dramatically scaled back<\/a> the federal onshore program in April.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The average price of gasoline reached an all-time record $4.52 a gallon on Tuesday, according<\/a> to AAA data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The White House didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Biden administration is under tremendous pressure from the environmental extremists to end America’s use of fossil fuel. What the environmentalists don’t realize is that America is one of the most environmentally safe countries in the world in its extraction of fossil fuel. Getting fuel from Venezuela is not only foolish because it strengthens a tyrant, but because it is not as environmentally friendly as drilling practices in America. This move by the Biden administration is another step in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n
