Canada's Energy Exports Keep US Economy Humming

US President Donald Trump has made headlines for his claim that the US doesn't need Canada. However, the numbers tell a different story.

A staggering 4 million barrels of Canadian crude oil flow into the US every day, powering American cars, trucks, and airplanes. This is just one example of how deeply intertwined the two economies are.

Canada supplies not only oil but also aluminum, potash, and auto parts to the US. In fact, Canada is the US's second-largest trading partner after Mexico, with over $872 billion in goods and services exchanged last year.
