He didn't simplify anything. Only made it more confusing.
As long as we're having to import oil to because we don't produce enough, then we're not independent. We've never been oil or energy independent. That was a lie used by Trump.
We consume about 19 to 20 million bpd, We only produce about 13million bpd.
We don't even produce enough natural gas. In 2023, the US imported 8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas, with 15.24 Bcf of that being LNG.
