Original Note:
U.S. trade deficit with Canada was $54.999 billion in 2024 (U.S. Census Bureau). This deficit is primarily driven by essential oil/gas imports. Without energy trade, the U.S. would have a trade surplus. Trump’s claim of a $200-$250B deficit is false and exaggerated. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html
