I'm not American. Explain to me how that works please.

If the oil isn't coming out of the ground here in America, it's going to come out of the ground somewhere else, like Russia.

But what about your #1 foreign supplier of oil? Canada.

I love those guys. OPEC is likely to be able to respond faster with production though.
