WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), joined his colleagues in reintroducing the Preempting Misguided Appeasement and Financing of Destabilizing Regimes Act of 2023, which will prohibit the importation of crude oil, petroleum, petroleum products, and liquified natural gas from Iran and Venezuela.
“The idea of importing oil from our adversaries is a complete slap in the face of working Americans,” said Senator Cramer. “We should be using and supporting American energy, and any reliance on our adversaries for something as critical as energy is an obvious threat to our national security. It is long overdue to formalize a policy of removing our enemies from our critical supply chains.”
Additional cosponsors include U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), Rick Scott (R-FL), James Lankford (R-OK), and Thom Tillis (R-NC).
