Trump says to tap US strategic oil reserve 'a little bit'

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States would tap its strategic oil reserves "a little," after the International Energy Agency said member countries would unlock supplies amid the Iran war.

"Right now we'll reduce it a little bit, and that brings the prices down," Trump said in an interview with Local 12 television in Cincinnati, Ohio, when asked if he was going to tap the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
