Fox News reports that drawdowns made to the
U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have left
the emergency stockpile at its lowest level since 1983.
.
High market prices have reportedly delayed
efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.

High market prices have reportedly delayed
efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.
.
According to data from the Energy Information
Administration (EIA), the SPR had approximately
351.3 million barrels of oil as of September 29.
.
Fox News reports that for most
of the last decade, the emergency stockpile
has stood at over 650 million barrels.
According to an EIA estimate, the U.S. consumes
an estimated 20 million barrels of oil per day.
.
This means that the SPR would be depleted after
just 17 days if America could no longer access "new domestic production or imports," Fox News reports.
.
Fox News reports that the historical average since
1990 has seen the emergency stockpile maintain
approximately 33 days worth of oil reserves.
.
In 1975, the SPR was created under
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act following
an oil embargo by OPEC that lasted from 1973 to 1974.
America’s SPR remains the largest in
the world and stands ready to deliver
on its mission to provide refiners
and the American public relief
in the event of supply disruptions, United States Department of Energy, via Fox Business.
Initially, the SPR was intended to
have a one billion barrel capacity,
but it has never reached that level.
Fox News reports that SPR supplies are held at four
locations in salt caverns located thousands of feet
below ground to prevent leaking oil from seeping out.
As Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrives in Rome for a critical second round of indirect talks with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, tensions rise. Iran has issued a clear warning to Washington: drop the unrealistic demands and adopt a constructive, respectful approach—or risk derailing the negotiations. Mediated once again by Oman’s foreign minister, the talks focus on the future of Iran's nuclear program, U.S. sanctions, and regional stability. This high-stakes diplomatic standoff could shape the future of Middle East geopolitics.

Netanyahu Vs. Trump: Israel is preparing a possible solo military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, even as former U.S. President Donald Trump urges diplomacy. In a bold move that could reshape Middle East dynamics, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is signaling that Israel will act alone if necessary. Trump has reportedly told Bibi he prefers a diplomatic route with Tehran — but Israel insists Iran's nuclear program must be dismantled now.

Amid intensifying trade tensions with the U.S., China has cut its crude oil imports from Washington by 90%, turning instead to Canada as a key supplier. Bloomberg reports record shipments from Canada's Pacific coast, powered by the Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline. China’s strategic shift aims to diversify energy sources away from American, Russian, and Middle Eastern dependence. This marks a major realignment in global oil trade, with implications for U.S. exports and geopolitical leverage. Meanwhile, Russia and Saudi Arabia remain China's top oil partners, but Canada's role is growing fast.

Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid? In a high-stakes two-hour phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the U.S. and Russian leaders discussed a range of issues, but Trump insists Ukraine aid was never brought up. Despite the Kremlin later demanding an end to foreign military aid to Ukraine as a condition for a ceasefire, Trump told Fox News that Putin never personally raised the issue during their conversation. The call, which took place on March 18, saw Putin agree to a 30-day pause on attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure but reject the broader U.S.-proposed ceasefire. Trump described the discussion as "a great call", focusing instead on trade, U.S.-Russia relations, and rare earth minerals.

Trump has doubled down on his support for tariffs, calling them the "greatest thing" America has ever done. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump claimed that tariffs will "make the U.S. rich again" while auto companies are opening new plants due to his policies. However, he refused to rule out a potential recession when pressed in a Fox News interview. The remarks come as the U.S. imposes steep new tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports, while Beijing retaliates with fresh taxes on American agricultural goods
