Sen. Lisa Murkowski is still calling for more oil development in Alaska, but now she’s framing it in contrast to the oil the U.S. imports from Russia.
Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan have introduced a bill to ban imports of Russian seafood, and Congressman Don Young has a similar bill in the House. Murkowski also said she’d try to add a Russian seafood ban to a sanctions bill in the Senate. Murkowski has been calling for such a ban since 2014, after Russia prohibited imports of American seafood.
Murkowski is also calling for more oil development in Alaska. She always has. Now, she’s framing it in contrast to the oil the U.S. imports from Russia. Alaska’s crude isn’t processed at the same refineries as petroleum imported from Russia, but Murkowski said both Alaska and Russia are suppliers in the global oil market.
