The U.S. did not double oil imports from Russia in the last year

[douglas9]

During an appearance on "Jesse Watters Primetime," Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo explained how brewing conflict between the U.S. and Russia could affect American consumers.

Bartiromo said that U.S. dependency on Russian oil imports would cause gasoline prices to continue rising.

The United States is "reliant on Russian oil. We have doubled our imports from Russia in the last year," Bartiromo said on Feb. 22. "No question why President Biden is begging OPEC and others to pump more oil."

3. from Politifact:

The U.S. did double the amount of crude oil imported from Russia last year. But Russia accounts for only about 3% of overall U.S. crude oil imports in 2021.
