One reason is fewer Federal land oil exploration leases signed by Obama.
Note under Obama 7 of 8 years were fewer leases than the year before.
So, we imported less oil from Russia because we had less Federal land oil exploration leases signed by Obama.
That does not really make much sense, but if you say so.
Under Trump each year there were more leases except 2020 ...Covid influence.
Yet each year under Trump Russian oil imports grew, so I guess there is a correlation between Russian imports and leases in the US.
Who would have thunk it
