#Trump: “They take the strategic national reserves. They’re virtually empty now. We have never had it this low.”

This is half exaggeration, half lie.

Pres Biden has tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try to lower gasoline prices, drawing it down by about 40% from when he took office, & it is currently at the lowest level since the 1980s. But it still has 375M barrels in it now, which is not at all “virtually empty” & is DEFINITELY NOT at the lowest level ever.
