Saudi Arabia was among the top five source countries of U.S. petroleum imports in 2014 (along with Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and Iraq).
I didn't see a date for the story in the OP. How do you know it was post 2011?

Stories are frequently more appealing when they have nothing to do with the truth. It is only when we tell such stories as the truth that it becomes objectionable.
