America Runs OUT of Oil Next Wednesday — By Trump's Own Timeline (Kim Iversen)

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is just 19 million barrels above minimum operating levels — the closest to the red line since the chart began in 1989 — and by Trump's own June 17th statement, we hit empty next Wednesday. Kim breaks down what happens when the reserves run dry: spiking gas prices, food inflation, layoffs, and zero buffer against the next crisis — all while Trump trades strikes with Iran, keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed, removes Syria's al-Qaeda-linked leader from the terror list, and brags about giving Israel the Golan Heights while sitting next to Syria's president. At what point does America come first?



If it is not next Wednesday it'll happen soon.
