US breaks oil export records

If in March American oil exports amounted to 3.97 million barrels per day, then the current data for April indicate approaching 4.9 million barrels per day, and in May analysts predict overcoming the mark of 5 million barrels per day.

According to analysts, if usually at this stage of April about 5 supertankers were chartered to export oil from the United States, then this April 28 supertankers have already been chartered

A sharp increase in oil exports provokes an increase in fuel prices in the United States, which have already reached their maximum since 2022. If gas pump prices continue to rise, it will pose a political risk for the Republican Party in the November midterm elections. In this regard, US President Donald Trump is promoting a further increase in production.
