The United States is increasing its dependence on oil from Saudi Arabia, raising its imports from the kingdom by more than 20 percent this year, even as fears of military conflict in the tinderbox Persian Gulf region grow.I went back and double-checked. Someone else (in the comment section) also noted that. The Obama administration favors Saudi regime over Canada. The dots continue to connect.
The increase in Saudi oil exports to the United States began slowly last summer and has picked up pace this year. Until then, the United States had decreased its dependence on foreign oil and from the Gulf in particular.
One could have written the lede this way, I suppose:

The increase in Saudi oil exports to the United States began slowly lever since President Obama killed Keystone XL and has picked up pace since. Until then, the United States had decreased its dependence on foreign oil and from the Gulf in particular.
