I'm surprised most people think this a stupid statement. The two largest trading partners of the US are Canada and Mexico. In other words...countries not overseas. But oil, and other "necessities", is being imported in greater and greater numbers to the US from overseas countries.

I know, I know; I'm as shocked as all of you that he said something that made sense and was accurate, to boot.
