This angle is responsible for the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) a given point on the earth would accumulate throughout a day, which is a single rotation of the earth about it's axis.

Is the US closer to the sun during the winter or the summer?
Neither. The United States (assuming that's what you meant), is a territory of land on the surface of the planet earth and thus does not move in respect to the rest of the planet. If your question was: "Is the planet earth closer to the sun during the winter or the summer of the northern hemisphere?" Then the answer would be that the planet earth is slightly closer (by 0.033 AU or ~ 5 million km) to the sun during the winter solstice than the summer solstice.

In the United States, the most hours of daylight (sunlight) is on June 21st, also know as the Summer Solstice.

The two equinoxes are March 21st and September 21st which is the first day of spring and the first day of fall. In the southern Hemisphere though, everything is flipped so the Summer Solstice is December 21st, the Winter Solstice is June 21st, the Spring Equinox is September 21st and the Fall Equinox is on March 21st. This is all because of the Moon phases.
