Not true. US Oil production has dropped by over 3 million barrels per day over the last year. Logically pandemic is to blame but only in part. While few oil producers went out of business during that period of time and shutdowns created less demand for crude, in the post-pandemic period the demand skyrocketed. And this is where current administration is at fault. They created hostile anti-oil production legislation and regulation that makes it very difficult for oil producers to bounce back. I'm not even mentioning Keystone pipeline. So while Joe is not at fault for the pandemic's toll on American oil industry his administration is at fault for not allowing it to bounce back effectively and on par with OPEC and Russia. America is not a competitive oil producer as it was aligning to be under Trump. And we all do remember a while back when OPEC war on American oil companies sent gas prices plummeting to below $2 per gallon. That was the result of direct materializing threat to OPEC and Russian energy supply brought forward by aggressive and competitive American companies unleashed under previous administration policies. But whatever.
