According to TASS, this is stated in the draft US military budget for fiscal year 2021, which was published by the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress.

“It is forbidden (to spend) funds to exercise control over the oil resources of Syria and Iraq,” TASS quoted a press release to the document.

Along with this, US lawmakers propose spending $ 700 million on training foreign security services, irregular armed groups, etc. for their effective fight against terrorists in Iraq and Syria.

In November 2019, it was reported that the U.S. military occupied several oil fields in Syria.
