As Washington tries to control the nation's gas prices, US President Joe Biden's decisions this year have led to a serious depletion of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

According to statistics released by the US Department of Energy, the US emergency oil reserves this week included just 416.4 million barrels, which is the lowest amount since 1984.

Biden also tries to pin rising inflation and prices in the US on Russia and Saudi Arabia after OPEC+ decided to cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day starting November.

It is worth noting that the economic situation which is affecting the financial standpoints of American families and businesses is burdening US President Joe Biden's popularity, which will affect his chances of winning the midterm congressional elections which will take place on November 8.
