White House opposes House bid to end oil export ban
The White House rejects a House Republican plan to lift the four decade old ban on crude oil exports. White House press secretary Josh Earnest argues the Commerce Department should decide policy, not Congress, while criticizing leaders for courting oil interests. The House committee plans to move the bill soon as McCarthy touts energy production in Houston.
