Why does fossil fuel use in the United States make the U.S. vulnerable to the political wishes of foreign countries?

The United States use more fossil fuels than the country can produce, so when the U. S. runs out of the fuel other countries want to take advantage of the lack of fossil fuel. The United States runs on fossil fuel so other countries that do not use as much fuel can earn money. Hope this helped out:)

The U.S. reliance on foreign fossil fuels makes it vulnerable to external political pressures, particularly from oil-rich nations whose decisions can influence the U.S. economy and foreign policy. This dependence results in both immediate economic risks and long-term strategic challenges. Reducing reliance on these fuels could help lessen such vulnerabilities.
