Apparently determined to win Russian President Vladimir Putin’s favor by any means necessary, President Joe Biden is sacrificing yet another American interest to Putin.

The Biden administration is revoking the permit for a United States oil company, Delta Crescent Energy, that has been operating in northeastern Syria, as reported by Al-Monitor. Delta Crescent Energy is working with local Kurdish and Sunni Arab interests to develop the local economy and provide much-needed investment. Recognizing the U.S. and dual security-humanitarian interests involved, I previously wrote in favor of Delta Crescent Energy being granted a U.S. Treasury Department waiver for its Syria engagement. The Trump administration later offered that waiver.
