Canada and Mexico are the 2 largest trading partners. Cusma review is next year, didn’t he do the exact same thing going into the NAFTA 2.0 negotiations? Just wish we’d do a united front with Mexico on this.
The United States is one of the world’s largest oil producers, producing enough crude oil for domestic consumption and exporting millions of barrels daily. In 2023, it exported just over 10 million barrels per day, or b/d, of petroleum to 173 countries and three US territories.
Yet, the US also imports roughly 8 million b/d, mostly heavy crude,60% of which comes from Canada, up from 33% in 2013. US oil refining capacity stood at 18.4 million barrels per day (b/d) as of Jan. 1, 2024. This may seem counterintuitive, but there are several reasons why the US still relies on imports.
That says that 60% of the oil the USA imports comes from Camada, not that the USA imports 60% of its oil from Canada.
Maybe I’m not reading it the way others would. I would have understood “The US imports 60% of its oil from Canada” to mean that 60% of the oil the USA consumes comes from Canada, not 60% of the oil the USA imports. The oil consumed will include both domestically produced oil and imported oil.
The U.S. imports 60% of its oil from Canada.

Tariffs on oil and microchips, should make a nice dent in cost of living.
Yeap. Lot cheaper to live without a house payment!
Those Biden “I did that” sticker on gas pumps are gonna look a hell of a lot different in hindsight.
Couldn’t have picked a better week to switch to an electric car.

Sorry… what’s the difference? Both are about how much of the oil the U.S. imports comes from Canada.
