U.S. to fill strategic oil reserve 'to the top,' Trump says

President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States would take advantage of low oil prices and buy a large quantity of crude to fill the nation's strategic reserves.

"Based on the prices of oil, I've ... instructed the secretary of energy to purchase, at a very good price, large quantities of crude oil for storage in the U.S. strategic reserve," he said. "We're going to fill it right up to the top."
