well for one thing that is why over 100 US oil drilling and producing companies went Bankrupt under Trump.
they went to Trump when they saw what the Saudis were doing , and starting their oil price war and he did NOTHING till the damage was done..
and YOU are 100% wrong US oil production is a LOT higher NOW then it was before COVID.
you can read the chart can't you?
