A Picture Worth a Thousand Words: Most US Crude Imports Are Medium/Heavy Sour from The Americas, but NOT from Venezuela

About 63% of US crude imports come from Canada. About 84% of Crude oil imports come from the Americas. Losing Venezuelan crude (Shown in Red), is not a big deal: Easy to compensate as it did when imports from Venezuela were banned.

Catch 22: Any increase in US oil imports from Venezuela at the expense of oil from Canada means more Canadian oil for China!
