North and South America export nearly 30 million barrels per day of crude oil and refined oil products and exports are growing exponentially. particularly in US and Gayana. The world does not really need the Persian Gulf, which exports only 20 mln barrels. Maybe, we should concentrate on increasing the oil exports in our hemisphere instead of sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran, which chants death to America. Just a thought.
