U.S. benefits from Canadian trade at least as much as Canada: report

  • A new report states that the U.S. benefits at least as much from trade with Canada as Canada benefits, according to economist Jim Stanford at the Centre for Future Work.
  • The report claims that the U.S. has a large surplus in services trade with Canada, offsetting the merchandise trade deficit.
  • Trump's assertion of a $200 billion trade deficit with Canada is false; the actual deficit was about $40.6 billion in 2023, according to the U.S. government's Bureau of Economic Analysis.
  • Trump incorrectly stated that Canada spends 'less than 1%' of GDP on defense, while official figures show it spent an estimated 1.37% in 2024.
