Saudi Arabia isn’t dependent on American food. Believe it or not, they even export wheat. The Saudis have enough money that they can buy their food from anywhere. They don’t need us as much as we need them.

Most of this is true, but we can also buy our oil from anywhere. The lion's share comes from Canada and Mexico.

Oil is a global commodity. It is fungible. It matters not where we buy it from.
