The U.S. depends on foreign countries for oil due to factors such as insufficient domestic oil production to meet demand, geographic proximity to oil-rich regions in the Middle East, and cost competitiveness of imported oil. The global nature of the oil market means that supply and demand dynamics influence the need for importing oil from other countries.

Why does fossil fuel use in the US make the US vulnerable to the political wishes of foreign countries?
The US is a net importer of fossil fuels which means that fossil fuels used in the United States come from foreign countries. If those fuels are needed to run the industries and cars that power the American economy, than the US can be held hostage by those foreign countries by their choice to deprive us of the necessary fossil fuels. This actually happened in 1973 with the Arab Oil Embargo, when Arab countries were incensed by US support for Israel and therefore cut oil production in order to hold the US (and other Western nations) hostage and force the US (and other Western nations) to cave to their demands to cease support for Israel. Thankfully, the US was able to remain uncowed, but other nations like Japan were in a much worse position and have pursued a Pro-Arab foreign policy from 1973 onwards.
