No, he did not fail to renew leases. He has issued more permits than did tump. The pipeline did nothing for America, as the oil was being sold to other countries. Enemies of Saudi Arabia--no. Not enemies, genius, but they were pissed off about the human rights issue. We buy from many sources, not only from Arabia. Regardless, you will pay the going rate for gas and oil, no matter where it comes from. The rest of the world is also feeling the sting and they didn't "make enemies" of Saudi Arabia. Try to keep up.he failed to renew existing leases, try to keep up if you can. He shutdown a pipeline capable of supplying 830k barrels per day, extra cushion over and above the the 650k we get from Russia. He made enemies out of the Saudi's (our best allies in the Middle East) who with little effort could have prevented us having to beg IRAN and Venezuela but as we have seen in the past Democrats over and over prefer to deal with the scumbags of the world for needs
