WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley said on Thursday he will try to add his bill pressuring OPEC+ to an annual defense policy bill after the group this week announced an oil production cut.
Grassley’s measure, called NOPEC, easily passed a Senate committee this year with support from Democratic senators.
