The United States stopped being energy independent under Biden
Misleading
Trump contrasted his administration with Biden’s, suggesting the U.S. had lost its status as a net energy exporter.
What the evidence shows
The United States continued to export more energy than it imported under Biden; the phrase energy independent is also not a formal guarantee against importing oil.
What happened next
Review against newer records as appropriate.
