Each day Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. (D. Van Zandt)
Claim Codes: Red = Fact Check on a Right Claim, Blue = Fact Check on a Left Claim, Black = Not Political/Conspiracy/Pseudoscience/Other

FactCheck.org rating: Mostly False (During Trump’s final year in office we exported more oil than imported; however we still imported 7 million+ barrels per day from the Middle East. Market forces in 2021 have caused slightly more imports from the Middle East with no change in policy.) |
