“A bill to prohibit the Secretary of Energy from sending petroleum products from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, and for other purposes.”

I don’t have an in depth level of knowledge on the oil markets, but it was my belief that they get sold onto the world oil markets. Once there how do we control where they go?
