President Donald Trump announced that the United States is producing “more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined” during his Wednesday night address to the nation on the Iran war.
“Because of our ‘Drill Baby Drill’ program, America has plenty of gas,” President Trump said. “Under my leadership, we are the number one producer of oil and gas on the planet — without even discussing the millions of barrels that we’re getting from Venezuela.”
“Because of the Trump administration’s policies, we produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined,” the president added. “There’s no country like us anywhere in the world, and we’re in great shape for the future.”
Trump went on to say that “the United States imports almost no oil” through the Strait of Hormuz, “and won’t be taking any in the future.”
