This is a 5 year US govt oil production chart showing that when Trump came into office, he managed to counteract the Obama/Biden administration's decreases in US oil production, and greatly increased domestic oil production over the next few years. Production plateaued in 2020 and flattened out during Covid.. This is why gas cost $2.09 per gallon in Delaware here in late January 2021 when Trump left office. Months before Putin's invasion, the price here was $3.39/gal, now it's $4.29!
But once Biden took office, he went on an all-out assault on US energy(just as Obama famously called for in 2012, hoping for energy prices to SKYROCKET)! In his first days in office, Biden cancelled the Keystone pipeline, canceled a bunch of drilling leases, and banned oil and gas exploration on a massive amount of federal lands. He even attempted to shut off other existing oil pipelines! In the meantime he green-lit Putin's pipeline by removing Trump's sanctions on Nordstream(he just recently re-installed the sanctions). Here's the proof!
