Weber introduced the Protecting America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act, which would prohibit the Secretary of Energy from sending petroleum products from the reserve to China. He says the ban would also cover entities under China’s control and argues it would keep future presidents from putting China’s interests ahead of U.S. energy security.
