I've been looking for further proof of Kevin's post, but I haven't been able to really find anything. In Trump's briefing yesterday, he did say he had some "big news" coming. Could this be it?
In the second or third task force briefing he said he was going to do this. (And my wife turned to me and said "Hey, you said he should do that. You're a genius!" Which is why I remember it :P )
What Trump has said recently is that he is allowing oil producers to store their oil in the governments tanks since storage after pumping oil is a major issue.
The Government has around 80-90 million barrel capacity remaining.

He wasn’t there for most of it because he was on calls to Putin and Saudi Arabia.
