We could probably go closer to 18 or 20 billion barrels a day,” Catsimatidis said. “That would make North America self-sufficient.” The businessman then criticized the Biden administration for “begging” Iran, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia for oil when the US “could be self-sufficient”. Catsimatidis made the comments after it was revealed that the Biden administration continued private negotiations with Western allies to implement a global cap on the price of Russian oil to avoid a potential gas price catastrophe. The Treasury Department, which is leading the effort, said it was continuing to negotiate the policy, which it argued was necessary to ensure global and U.S. oil prices did not soar in the coming months. The agency, which has been engaged in discussions with several nations both inside and outside the G7, could reach a solution with partners as soon as September. “A price cap on Russian oil would deny Putin money for his war machine and put downward pressure on high oil costs caused by Russia’s unprovoked war on Ukraine,” a Treasury spokesman told FOX Business in a statement. “We continue to have productive discussions with the G7 and other allies and partners, who share a common interest in helping consumers by preventing further disruptions to global oil supply and reducing revenues for the Kremlin,” the spokesman added. In late June, the US and its G7 allies announced their intention to implement the price ceiling, which would essentially allow international oil buyers to buy Russian product at a price higher than some negotiated price.

It doesn’t work,” Katsimatis argued. He also argued on Wednesday that “the right price of oil in North America could fall to $65 to $75 a barrel.” “Inflation goes away if we get it [oil] at $75 a barrel and we don’t need to kill the rest of the United States with higher interest rates,” he added. “It’s that simple,” Katsimadis said, referring to the Federal Reserve’s moves to try to curb stubborn inflation by raising rates.
