And last August, the Syrian Ministry of Oil said in a statement that the American forces steal 80 percent of the Syrian oil production.

In its statement, the ministry said that the US forces and their mercenaries steal an average of 66,000 barrels of oil per day in Syria, as the country's average daily oil production is estimated at 80,000 barrels in the first half of 2022.

The illegal smuggling of Syrian oil caused direct and indirect losses of about $107.1 billion to the oil and gas sectors in Syria, according to the Ministry of Oil.

The Syrian government considers the presence of US forces on its territory illegal, and demands their departure.
