alt Hacker NewsAmerica has its own oil. Europe is buying it, which increases the price.
To lower prices, America can help Europe get their oil back from the strait or it can ban sales to Europe both of which could make American oil cheap for Americans.
By not helping, Europe is screwing Americans. And, pretty soon, screwing Europeans too because Americans will be fed up with high prices. They will move to stop exports.
Where does that leave Europe?

Also EU can be reached and bombed by Iran so we have more to loose than some army bases in the desert like you guys. I assure you that Europeans wouldn't support getting bombed because we had to help Trump make more money.
The USofA is refinery challenged, most of its sweet light goes direct to export ports, not to home soil light refineries.
This is a challenge, not a simple switch that can be flicked overnight.
