    Sorry… what’s the difference? Both are about how much of the oil the U.S. imports comes from Canada.

      Maybe I’m not reading it the way others would. I would have understood “The US imports 60% of its oil from Canada” to mean that 60% of the oil the USA consumes comes from Canada, not 60% of the oil the USA imports. The oil consumed will include both domestically produced oil and imported oil.
