Biden's policy have not been oil friendly to say the least but he hasn't had time as president to impact the supply of oil. You fail to realize the lead time it takes to get an oil and gas project rolling. It can takes years - it will take years for anything substantial. And that only impacts federal leases anyway.
And increased taxes only impact NEW federal leases. Not existing leases. So there may be an impact on price down the road but not on today's price. It generally takes years from leasing to production. Plus most oil being produced today in the US is from private land.
The rig count in the US has been increasing steadily over the past few months. So Biden is not shutting anything down. That's a function of drilling companies and crews coming back on line after a long hiatus and low prices. And it's having some impact on WTC oil price as well.
