They had an energy expert on and he said the US is importing oil from Russia and has become a net import country from a net export country since Biden took office. All that progress Trump made is washed away because of petty partisan politics.
We get it, your news source hates Biden, trump imported 20,000 bbl in Jan and Biden 12,000 bbl in Feb ?

The US buys about the same from the saudis, it goes back and forth because BIG politics, hack our computers, we by more from the other dirtbags type thing. It all stinks but there is a lot going on.
We'll buy your oil, you by our arms, you invade ukraine, we clamp the screws alittle tighter on trade embargos etc.
It's all part of world politics, some times it's better to reward a country for not being a bad actor.
Controlling a country's trade is the ultimate power. China is the sleeping giant, the US owes them 1T in loans. But they sell everything to the US so there's that.
Common sense won't work without a massive war and rebuild, few 100 million people and 50 years of turmoil would fix it for awhile until we f'it all up again.
People need to work together, after all we're on the same team.
