We should have a certain stockpile of oil. The United States has had a strategic petroleum reserve for decades. In the case of Canada selling more oil to China than it has in the past, this is as a direct result of the need for Canada to diversify its trading relationship, given the aggressive economic coercion of Canada by the current administration in the White House. We're selling more oil to China because there is an international market for oil. It can buy it from Saudi Arabia or it can buy it from us.
