The International Energy Agency was surprised by the Biden administration’s March 31 announcement that it would release 180 million barrels of oil from reserves over the following six months, according to a new report — with one source telling Reuters the organization was “embarrassed” that it had not been told of the move in advance.

The wire service, citing “two sources familiar with the matter,” reported Monday that the White House had failed to notify the IEA that it would announce the release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) a day ahead of an extraordinary meeting of the organization to discuss a coordinated supply boost.

“The IEA was embarrassed by the [US] release which was at the start done essentially unilaterally by the US,” one of the sources was quoted as saying.

The International Energy Agency is not too happy.

The International Energy Agency is not too happy.

Neither is most of the rest of the world, starting with most of the poor, dumb American schlubs under #JoeThePedophile's thumb...

Since when is the United States, a sovereign nation, under ANY obligation whatsoever to notify a globalist bullshit agency with zero impact on the U.S., about what the U.S. does with its own oil?

Hey, IEA turds -- 

Go play in traffic.

As for you, SharterJoe, another new record high price for diesel and we're a whisker away from another record high price for unleaded regular. You can go play in traffic too, Joe.

It's probably part and parcel with being a member nation in OPEC, if I had to hazard a guess.

It sounds like the organization might be trying to manage the oil market, to ensure producing nations aren't sitting forever on stocks waiting to be shipped and consuming nations aren't running out waiting for their next shipment to come in.

Gas is getting high enough that playing in traffic is not that dangerous......

We're certainly in uncharted territory, but there's still a helluva lot of speed merchants in my area.
