US Reliance on Russian Oil Surges to Record High Amid Tensions
WASHINGTON—Russian oil imports have set a new record in the United States despite the strained relationship between Washington and Moscow. Industry experts believe the Biden administration’s climate policies will make the country more dependent on foreign oil producers.
The United States imported record levels of crude oil from Russia in March and is expected to continue importing at high levels in coming months, according to the Western Energy Alliance, a trade association that represents 200 independent natural gas and oil producers in the United States.
Imports of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia reached 22.9 million barrels in March, the highest level since August of 2010, according to International Energy Agency (IEA). Of the total amount, crude oil imports from Russia stood at 6.1 million barrels. Russia has become the third-largest oil exporter to the United States.
High levels of oil shipment from Russia have continued since March, according to ClipperData, a commodity intelligence company that monitors cargo shipments worldwide.
“Last month we saw a record 5.75 million barrels of Russian crude discharged in the US, and we’re projecting a further record this month of 7.5mn bbls,” ClipperData analysts wrote on Twitter on June 7.

Bamarep reminder:
The US was energy independent a year ago.
Wonder what changed?

Who exactly is the Russian asset? Trump made us more self-sufficient and less reliant on foreign markets. Now we are back relying on other nations for our oil and it's showing up at the gas pump. Ever wonder why billionaires hated the guy? Multinational corporations headquartered in the United States were feeling in in their wallets while the blue-collar American benefited from the Trump administration's policies. We've simply retreated back to the policies of the Bush and Obama administrations. It's sad but there is absolutely no one in high office who cares about the little guy.

And just think folks, two years ago we had achieved energy independence for the first time since the late 50’s.
But isn’t this all so much more familiar, comfortable and better now with no mean tweets?

Libs are perfectly content with destroying the US oil industry all in the name of climate change even if it means importing from Russia who they spent the last four years crying about
Makes so much sense

And to think, oil had such a glut a year ago that it was 0$ a barrel and because we didn't have a place to store it.
Thanks President* Biden!

Plus holding off money to Ukraine when Russia has warships circling Ukraine.
Impeach mint! But McCarthy doesn't care enough. It is all one big game & the gas lighting & trolling doing what they accused of will just raise blood pressure.

Why were we importing oil a year ago? Also imports of Russian oil were growing pre 2021 and pre-COVID. Maybe it had something to do with cutting off a main supply line in the north of South America. Next to Colombia.
