Strait of hormuz is 20% of global oil flows. Venezuela is about 1%.

I understand the previous regime’s war on energy affordability. The prior energy secretary cackled at questions about oil production.

What is revealing about the war against iran is that the foreign war is more important than keeping energy prices low, and costs affordable for the oil based US economy. So much for being for the common man.

Thomas Massie is right multiple times over, and seems to be among, if not the sole pro America rep in the swamp.
"The Trump administration authorized Venezuela to sell fertilizers and other petrochemicals to US companies, further loosening sanctions just as the Iran war tightens global supplies of critical crop nutrients.

The new measure, disclosed Friday in Treasury Department documents, expands a US effort to gradually reintegrate Venezuela into the global energy market. The White House aims to stimulate the South American nation’s economy after US forces captured President Nicolás Maduro in January."
