I get what you're saying, but that the United States still relies on OPEC for oil. It is still the second largest supplier after Canada. The United States is trying to get off Middle Eastern oil, but to date, even with the expansion in domestic production and reliance on Canadian crude, they are still reliant on this flow of oil. Right or wrong, the United States is still in bed with the Saudis on many fronts, access to oil remaining top of that list.
