However, trade is very complicated, though it does appear the US hasn't been taken advantage of by Canada in the way Trump likes to claim.

Trump’s numbers are outlandish

Ercolao and Foran also noted that the numbers Trump and his team are quoting are “4 to 5 times the official reported statistics.”

Canada is actually subsidizing the US…

“Remove Canadian energy exports from the equation and the trade story flips,” Ercolao and Foran explained. “Ex-energy, the U.S. enjoys a trade surplus with Canada of around C$60 (US$45 billion).”

The official figure is complicated

However, in Ercolao and Foran’s analysis, they noted that Canadian energy imports accounted for nearly all of the US trade deficit with Canada. When energy imports are removed, the situation drastically changes.

The deficit was just over $60 billion

The US imported $412.7 billion dollars in goods from Canada while Canada imported a total of $349.4 billion in goods from the United States, putting the American trade deficit with Canada at just $63.3 billion in 2024.

The 2024 US trade deficit with Canada

So how bad is the US trade deficit with Canada? Based on the numbers, the US traded an estimated $762.1 billion in goods with Canada in 2024 according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative.
