Any multinational would have the burden of defending the provenance of its feedstock,along the entire,well-to-refinery chain of custody, in order to prove transparently,that it had no connection to not only conflict,but any aspect of the cost of the US military industrial complex,tasked with protecting international shipments,across international waters.
The Independent Petroleum Association of America members are a shoe in.
