Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

      What’s a conservative talking point? That WCS sells for less than WTI? That’s not at all a political statement, that’s just a fact.

        It is a political statement when the problem is framed as one of market access.

        The problem is not market access. The problem is that WCS is very high density and very high sulphur content. Those result in it always selling at a severe discount to WTI.
