If that is so, the easy solution is to set the price that oil companies pumping US oil and producing gas can charge in the US and restrict their sales to the US. This, of course, will never happen. Now that the Gulf of Hormuz is closed, world oil prices have skyrocketed and we wouldn’t want American producers to be denied access to those markets and profits. Screw you and your work pickup!
