The United States does not get it's oil from the Middle East. The two biggest importers of oil to the US is Canada and Mexico.
We tend to think of the Middle East as "the place that supplies our oil" but that's not correct. All the Middle East has is oil, it's the only export they really have. But very little of it comes to the US.
