NBC reporter insists Biden canceling Keystone Pipeline made no difference on US dependence on foreign oil
Fox News
NBC reporter Peter Alexander told former Mike Pence aide Marc Short that President Biden canceling the Keystone Pipeline made no difference in our reliance on Russian oil.
"Absolutely he should Peter. I think it’s an untenable position to say in essence America has doubled its importation of Russian oil. You now have $100 plus per barrel, and you have hundreds of thousands of barrels imported per day. In some cases you're actually funding the war against Ukraine. The United States should have no business importing oil from Russia. What the Biden administration should do is allow America to become energy independent like it was during the Trump/Pence administration. But instead when they canceled the Keystone Pipeline, and they stopped renewing new permits, what that does was it makes us more dependent on foreign oil," Short argued.
