Senate Democrats Discussing Oil Export Deal That Could Include Green Subsidies

摘要

Senate Republican leaders are considering a deal to lift the long-standing ban on crude oil exports after Democrats presented them with a set of demands in exchange for ending the trade prohibition, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told Bloomberg BNA. Durbin said a "presentation has been made" to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) after Democrats discussed what they would want in exchange for the policy tweak, a priority of Republicans and the oil industry.
