I guess you don't understand how the global oil supply chain works. Oil is both imported and exported from the US. This is done by multinational companies. For example, it may be more expedient, convenient, cost effective for these entities to drill oil in Texas and ship it to Japan and import "replacement" oil from Saudi Arabi than to ship oil all the way from Saudi Arabi to Japan. Most of our imports come from Canada, then Mexico. Ironically Russia was #3 on the list, I'm guessing that is no longer the case. There are other considerations for the game of import/exporting, such as the make up the fuel demand, refining capability/capacity, etc.
The US is the #1 producer of oil in the world and we're actually a net exporter, so the multinational companies we lease land to and then permit to drill said land actually benefit considerably from current gas prices. One might conclude they don't have a lot of motivation to ramp up production.
That is exactly what is happening and what will continue to happen. It's amazing to me that so 'mericans are up in arms about gas prices without even a basic understanding of how the industry works. More permits and more drilling makes Exxon executives rich seems to have little impact at the pump. Crank up US production, who cares, OPEC+ will cut production and oil execs will export US oil because it's profitable to do so. I'm guessing Exxon is making record profits currently.
And what would you have Biden do? Nationalize the oil industry?
And before you fall for another common narrative circulated by the right - the old "we're not building refineries" story. That story is also of a work of fiction.
Keep trying little kid.
