Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-Okla.) blasted President Biden on Tuesday for failing to include oil and gas exports in his sanctions against Russia, The Associated Press reported.
Per AP, Portman slammed Biden for increasing America's dependence on Russian oil after "shut[ting] down the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would have transported tens of thousands of barrels each day from Canada to U.S. refineries."
