Thinking about it, something about crude oil being both the largest industrial import and export seems a bit stupid. If $164b of oil is coming in and $117b of oil is going out, that’s only $47b worth of it actually staying in the country.
Oh well. I’m sure there’s some trade agreements and/or buy-low-and-sell-high trading at play to explain it.
