That is false, the US is now producing record amounts of petroleum, MORE that is ever did when Trump was president. The Russians may or may not be trying to prevent this, but if so, they are entirely unsuccessful.  The US imports no oil from Russia, though I would not be surprised to, learn that some subsidiary of one or more US companies do, and then sell it outside the US. 


The US is both and exporter and an importer of petroleum and petroleum products. 

If the US actually OWNED oil wells and refineries, then the country might be independent. But it does not. Big Oil owns the whole shebang: wells, pipelines, refineries, tankers, and gas stations. The US government owns none.


So the term "energy independent" is bogus.
