Video: US lifts 40-year-old ban on crude export amid plummeting oil price
USA has lifted a 40-year-old ban on exports of crude oil - despite historically low prices and a saturated global market. The measure is part of a budget plan for 2016. It's seen as a victory for the Republicans and oil companies, which claim it would boost the American economy and job market. Some Democrats are strongly against the lift.
