WASHINGTON :The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed an amendment to an annual defense bill on Thursday that would ban exports to China of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Last July, in a sale of 39 million barrels from the SPR that was part of a 180 million barrel release, 1 million barrels went to UNIPEC America, a Houston based arm of China's Sinopec. In 2017, under Former President Donald Trump, some SPR oil was sold to PetroChina International.
