Quite a few moving pieces in this mess.

The US is the world’s largest exporter of petroleum products.
The value of the US dollar is strongly influenced by the price of oil.

China is demonstrating profound demand destruction in oil.
Low oil prices are not good for the US.

It could be argued that the US benefits from prolonged disruptions in oil exports through Hormuz.
International demand for US dollars is currently very high.
