The Government doesn't export oil. Oil companies do. They have been for a while, not really seeing huge spike in our exports thought.......
Boo, it said that the Biden Admin allowed the export. Are you taking issue with that or changing the subject?
Fact is, we are drawing down the SPR and exporting oil to Italy, France, China, India, et. al.
The US is and has been an oil dependent nation since before the Kennedy Administration. Production is still rising under Biden.
That being said we are still energy independent, if that means anything.
As you should know, your links do not support your points. You only linked exports. US is a large country and will always have imports and exports (Canada and Mexico where it makes sense). What matters are NET imports or NET exports.
The EIA provides net import data.
