That's not really how it works. In order to stop exports we would need to get out of the market which would be the dumbest thing we could do. The market has regulations so you're either in or you're out. You can't say you're in the market when times are good and bow out when they're bad.
It's like when the story came out that Biden was selling oil to China. He had no control over where the oil is sold to. It goes out into the global market and he doesn't control where the oil goes.
So if we did run into a problem with oil due to war or some national emergency, we're fd because we drained our emergency resources.
If it is a wartime incident many, many things change. All markets would change and none of it for the better I agree.
