Exclusive — Donald Trump on Joe Biden Selling U.S. Oil Reserves to Chinese Company Linked to Son Hunter: ‘Terrible’
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former President Donald Trump ripped current President Joe Biden for selling nearly a million barrels of oil from the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese company linked to his son Hunter Biden, calling the move “terrible” in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News here on Friday night.
The revelation that Biden sold oil from the official United States reserves to foreign countries, “one of which is China,” as Trump noted in the interview, rocked the news last week, leading several Republicans to demand an investigation into what happened. Trump had rebuilt the supply in the United States reserves for the first time in decades, and then Biden, during a shortage of oil where the price is at or near record highs, turned around and sold it foreign countries, something Trump called “incredible.”
“I think the whole thing is incredible,” Trump told Breitbart News. “I built up the reserves—75 million barrels of oil. We filled it up. It’s the first time in decades that that was loaded up to the top. We did it when oil was very cheap. I said this would be the time. I said ‘tell me about the reserves,’ and they told me and in about two seconds we made a big order for very little money. Now it’s being given away to China and other countries. I think it’s terrible.”
Asked if it is a scandal worthy of investigation, Trump said he consider it “certainly strange” that Biden would give American oil from the nation’s reserves to China.
“I don’t know. It’s certainly strange to be giving to, of all countries, China,” Trump said. “Now, they’re getting a lot of oil from Iran and other places. They should have no shortage. When I was president, I didn’t allow China to buy from Iran and Iran was willing to make a deal. They would have had a deal within one week after the election—within a week I would have had a deal with Iran. It’s so sad what’s happened to our country in so many different ways.”
While as of yet it is unclear if Biden or his family members, such as his son Hunter Biden, personally profited from this sale, Trump said that if that happened it would be “inconceivable,” but that the mere fact that Biden even sold U.S. oil to a Chinese company to begin with is bad enough. Trump also said Biden policies are likely to cause the price of gas to continue to increase beyond the record highs hit this summer, predicting “much higher” gas prices soon.
“It would be inconceivable that that could happen but so is even the thought of China getting millions of barrels of oil from us and we’re the ones with the shortage,” Trump said. “They don’t have a shortage, because they’re buying so much from Iran and other countries. They’re buying from Russia, by the way, and Russia is doing better than ever. They’re making a fortune over and above the cost of the war and the war is what drove the price up in terms of the barrels. Nobody can believe this would happen. If you look at everything since the election, the Russia-Ukraine war would have never happened, inflation would have never happened. We had the cost per gallon down to $1.87. Now it’s way over $5. I think it’s going to go much higher, too.”
This interview with Trump comes in the wake of Biden selling 950,000 barrels of oil, per a Department of Energy announcement earlier this year, to Unipec—the trading arm of the Chinese Communist Party-controlled Sinopec. In 2015, a private equity firm that Hunter Biden founded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing.

The ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), told Breitbart News last week that the matter is now being formally investigated. Should the GOP retake the House majority as expected in November’s midterm elections, this investigation will likely intensify, but Comer is already calling for testimony and document production from key Biden Administration officials on this deal.

“From day one, the Biden Administration has waged a war against America’s energy producers. It started with the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and has continued with their push to implement radical Green New Deal policies. Their recent decision to remove oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve didn’t just fail to lower high gas prices, it has now left Americans vulnerable to unstable oil markets created by this administration,” Comer told Breitbart News.
“The Department of Energy is operating behind closed doors and has left Americans in the dark. Under no circumstances should President Biden be providing our oil reserves to hostile foreign adversaries or Chinese firms linked to Hunter Biden,” Comer continued. “It’s critical for Energy Secretary Granholm to stop dodging our Congressional inquiries and testify before the Oversight Committee.”
China: Security Personnel Assault Protesters at Bank
Several people said they were injured on Sunday by security personnel in China’s Zhengzhou city while protesting a local bank’s recent decision to freeze millions of dollars of deposits, Reuters reported.
Roughly 1,000 people gathered outside the Zhengzhou branch of China’s central bank on July 10 to demand the bank unfreeze the deposits.
Eyewitness photos and videos circulated on social media showing “depositors waving banners and throwing plastic bottles at approaching security guards who then roughly dragged some of the protesters away,” Reuters relayed.
Video obtained by Reuters and published separately on July 10 showed demonstrators at the bank rally holding posters that read, “No deposit, no human rights” and “Against the corruption and violence of the Henan provincial government.” Zhengzhou is the capital of China’s east-central province of Henan.
Detailing the video’s contents, Reuters wrote:
Scuffles broke out, and a loudspeaker was used to warn people to leave the area.
“Your actions have been deemed as illegal. Leave in 10 minutes. If you do not heed instructions from staff on site, if you do not leave and if you continue to disrupt society, the police will take stern action,” the warning blasted from the speaker said.
Security personnel ran towards them as a man’s voice was heard chanting: “Thugs! Thugs! Thugs!”
“I feel so aggrieved I can’t even explain it to you,” a 40-year-old protester surnamed Zhang told the news agency.
Zhang recounted suffering “injuries to his foot and thumb” and being “taken away by four unidentified security personnel” around midday on July 10 after he demonstrated outside of the bank.
“Security personnel outnumbered protesters by around three to one,” he revealed.
“They [security personnel] did not say they would beat us if we refused to leave. They just used the loudspeaker to say that we were breaking the law by petitioning. That’s ridiculous. It’s the banks that are breaking the law,” Zhang stated.
The man said he had participated in Sunday’s rally as part of his ongoing effort to retrieve roughly 170,000 yuan ($25,000 USD) that he deposited with Zhecheng Huanghuai Community Bank, which was one of the banks affected by the deposit freezes.
Authorities in charge of the banks froze millions of dollars worth of deposits in April. The officials explained the action to customers by saying they were “upgrading their internal systems” but refused to issue further information or updates. The affected deposits remain frozen three months later.
Chinese government authorities are reportedly investigating the relevant banks for “illegal fundraising,” according to a July 8 report by China’s state-run Global Times. The newspaper described the businesses as “small rural banks, registered in Henan Province” and identified them as including Yuzhou Xinminsheng Village Bank and the Shangcai Huimin Country Bank.
“More than 1,000 depositors from across the country had planned to gather in Zhengzhou last month to try to withdraw their money but they were unable to when their COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] health codes, which determine if one can travel, switched to a ‘no travel’ status,” Reuters recalled on July 10.
“Five officials were subsequently punished for misusing the health code system,” according to the news agency.

Naïve American people had no idea what they were getting with Biden: A senile, corrupt, debauched old man with a son who was a conduit for his dirty dealings and who has a personal life so disgusting it’s hard to write about it. That’s what the American media and the tech tyrants have done to America. ANDREA WIDBURG

How Biden Helped a Chinese Gas Giant Boost the Communist Nation’s Oil Reserves
As Biden depletes US oil reserve, China amasses huge stockpile
President Joe Biden's decision to deplete America's oil reserves is helping a top adversary—China, which has built up its own stockpile while taking advantage of Biden's firesale.
Biden's Department of Energy in April sold roughly one million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government. That decision came just two months after Unipec launched an "unusual buying spree" aimed at boosting China's own oil reserves.
The communist nation's strategy was clearly successful—from mid-March to mid-May, China increased its oil reserves from 869 million barrels to 926 million barrels, according to Bloomberg. America's oil reserves, meanwhile, are in freefall under Biden. The Democrat inherited 638 million barrels of reserve oil; that number is set to drop to 384.6 million barrels, the lowest level since 1984.
China's newfound oil reserve advantage poses a serious national security threat, Republican lawmakers told the Washington Free Beacon. As war rages on in Ukraine, China has strengthened its energy relationship with Russia—in May, for example, Beijing entered discussions with Moscow to buy discounted Russian oil to further fill its reserves. For Rep. Mike Waltz (R., Fla.), that development stresses the need to ramp up U.S. energy production "rather than begging foreign governments for more supply."
"At a time when millions of Americans are suffering financially at the gas pump, Joe Biden is helping replenish our biggest adversary's energy reserves with our own damn oil," Waltz said. "It's astonishing how clueless this administration is when it comes to trusting bad actors like China to help alleviate our economy. If we want to compete with China, we need to begin expanding production here at home by expanding federal drilling leases and building more pipelines."
Sen. Dan Sullivan (R., Alaska) echoed Waltz's remarks, calling the fall of American energy independence under Biden "national security suicide."
"Make no mistake: The biggest fans of Biden's radical energy policies are Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin," Sullivan told the Free Beacon. "We are in a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators in Russia and China. The Biden administration needs to wake up to the fact that this new era—and our need for oil and gas—will be with us for decades to come."
Neither the White House nor the Department of Energy returned requests for comment.
It's unclear if the reserve oil Biden sold to Unipec went directly to China's own reserves, but the sale helped China grow its stockpile regardless, Power the Future founder and executive director Daniel Turner argued. Even if Unipec released the oil it purchased from the Biden administration into the global market, Turner said, the sale gave the state-controlled company additional supply that would allow China to place oil from other sources into its reserves.
"The energy market's uncertainty is a good reason for any country to stockpile oil in their strategic reserves, yet America is seemingly depleting its oil reserves to help China fill theirs," Turner told the Free Beacon. "China couldn't create a more favorable economic and national security approach to strategic oil reserves if they had created it themselves."
The Biden administration claimed its sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec would "address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump" and combat "Putin's price hike." In the months following the sale, however, the national average for a gallon of gas surpassed $5 for the first time ever. Unipec also ramped up its shipments of Russian oil in May, giving Putin a much-needed income source as Russia's economy slumps in the face of Western sanctions.
While the Biden administration has blamed sky-high gas prices on Russia's war, prices at the pump were increasing long before Putin invaded Ukraine. Biden railed against the oil and gas industry on the campaign trail in 2020, pledging to "end fossil fuel." He went on to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and halt new gas leases on federal land during his first month in office. Those decisions have not been well received—nearly 75 percent of Americans are not satisfied with the federal government's national energy policy, the hig
