Fossil fuel markers are global. Unless the US stops all of its oil producers from engaging in international trade, they cannot prevent prices from rising in the US. The fossil fuel lobby is extremely powerful in the US and it is very unlikely they would allow the state to take such an aggressive action against free trade, as it would deprive them of a golden opportunity for enormous profits. Not to mention it sets an incredibly dangerous precedent of the state exercising power over the private sector. And even if they do stop or severely curtail exports, that will have even bigger consequences on the US through the cascading effects of a global economic crash, since the US is highly embedded in the global economy.
