> According to CNN the US imports 7.9 million barrels a day from Saudi Arabia. That is not what that article says. It says: "The United States still imports 7.9 million barrels of foreign crude per day and a sizable chunk comes from Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter." The US imported just less than a million barrels per day of crude oil + products from Saudi Arabia in 2017. It was down to 770,000 per day for January 2019. Imports from Saudi Arabia have been cut in half since 2003. If the US wanted to it could easily entirely remove them from the oil import mix. They're no longer a required supplier for the US. If you want to see a nation the US depends on for oil: the US imported four million barrels of crude oil per day from Canada in January.
