America controls Saudi, Kuwait, Iraq and Venezuela. Only Iran falls outside and if they start doing naughty things they are going to get invaded.
America is the largest oil producer in the entire world

Country Oil production September 2023 (bbl/day)
United States 12,900,000[8]
Russia 9,480,000[9]
Saudi Arabia (OPEC) 9,060,000[9]
Canada 4,778,973[10]
Ah, yes. America with its magic wand controlling everything and everyone! Just yesterday evening Biden made me snort three lines of coke.
Yes they kill governments that try to nationalize their oil which could drive down prices. Gadaffi in Libya is a great recent example.
So, still no monopoly. Even IF we counted OPEC as "American OPEC monopoly" they together would only account for 50-60% of crude oil production. Far away from a monopoly, maybe you should read up on the term monopoly.
And even then, OPEC most of the time acts against US interests. Crazy how big the "control" and influence the US has over these countries and OPEC then. They have so much control that even Russia is part of OPEC+ since 2016. AMERICA STRONK!
