The White House called the report &#8220;premature speculation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Any ban on Russian oil and gas would worsen global gas prices\u2014the European Union gets 25 percent of its oil supply and 40 percent of its gas supply from Russia\u2014as well as U.S. inflation. On Monday, the United States <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gasbuddy.com\/newsroom\/pressrelease\/1104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broke<\/a> the record for the national average price of gasoline, hitting $4.104 per gallon. Some gas stations in Los Angeles <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7news.com\/california-gas-prices-la-high-today\/11625864\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have recorded<\/a> prices as high as $7 per gallon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Americans have never seen gasoline prices this high, nor have we seen the pace of increases so fast and furious,&#8221; said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. &#8220;The high prices are likely to stick around for not days or weeks, like they did in 2008, but months. GasBuddy now expects the yearly national average to rise to its highest ever recorded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) on Sunday <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/597098-house-working-on-bill-to-ban-russian-oil-imports\">announced<\/a> legislation to &#8220;ban the import of Russian oil and energy products into the United States,&#8221; end trade and increase tariffs on Russia, and remove the nation from the World Trade Organization. Russia only accounts for 8 percent of total U.S. oil imports, but banning the import of Russian oil would still cause domestic gas prices to surge even higher.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden Administration Gas more than $4 a gallon\u2014as high as $7 in California  FILE PHOTO: Traffic travels past a sign displaying current gas prices in San<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1362927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1362927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1362927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1362927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1362927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1362927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1362927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
