# Can the US Quit Canada's Canola Oil? | the deep dive

> US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer dismissed the collapse of trade talks with Canada, while Canada supplies about 96% of its canola oil exports to the US. The US imported 2.5 million tonnes in 2025, worth about C$4.2 billion. Trump's 25% tariffs on Canadian canola products from February 2025 and the disqualification of Canadian canola from a biofuel tax credit cut US imports sharply.

## Why it matters

Renewed trade tension raises the risk of tariffs or Canadian export taxes on canola oil, which would tighten US supply and lift prices, though substitutes are limited.
