U.S. President Donald Trump has set a Saturday deadline for imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada unless the countries clamp down on illegal migration and shipments of the deadly opioid fentanyl into the United States.
Trump has not exempted crude imports from the plan, which will hurt consumers, the energy industry and national security, the oil industry has warned.
Canada and Mexico are the top sources of U.S. crude imports, together accounting for around one-quarter of the oil U.S. refiners process into fuels such as gasoline and heating oil, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Below is a list of the top countries that the United States imports crude from and the volumes supplied by each country:
| Country | Import Volumes (000s of Barrels per Day) |
|---|---|
| Canada | 3,800 |
| Mexico | 457 |
| Saudi Arabia | 275 |
| Venezuela* | 228 |
| Brazil | 224 |
| Colombia | 210 |
| Iraq | 198 |
| Nigeria | 139 |
| Ecuador | 120 |
