The US is famously the sort of country that takes its massive in-house crude production and adds in different types of petroleum from the rest of the world to create a robust and very lucrative refining industry.
This seems like just a way to scam the american people at large by charging extra for energy. It's not the sort of measure that increases internal production either because actual crude production in the US has been in a plateau for a long time now. Not because of lack of demand. But because that's just how things are. Oil is not an infinite resource.
