An informed source revealed that the United States plans to release approximately 45 million barrels of crude oil from its strategic petroleum reserves in the first phase of inventory injection, aiming to curb the rise in fuel prices. The Trump administration stated last week that a total of 172 million barrels of crude oil will be released from the strategic petroleum reserve in an emergency release. This is part of a relief plan coordinated by the International Energy Agency, aimed at reducing energy costs.
