Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about

banks, oil, gas prices, and Trump. So, banks and oil industry experts have taken to the belief

that Trump won't actually introduce his promised tariffs on Mexico and Canada, that it's all

just a made-up storyline like Trump's shark and battery fixation. A global strategist from

McQuary Capital said, I do not believe for a second that there will be a massive increase in overall tariffs.

Other quotes from experts suggest, quote, they will never be introduced, or Trump hasn't

thought that far ahead. Okay, so why do they have this opinion? In short, they don't believe anybody could be that self-destructive or elect to harm the U.S. economy that much.

Trump's promised 25% tariff on Canada would include things that would send gas prices up.

The U.S. imports about 4 million barrels of crude per day from

Canada, despite the U.S. hitting domestic production records. A co-head of global commodities

research over at Goldman Sachs said Trump's tariffs hitting oil would have, quote, pretty significant consequences

for U.S. consumers. Citibank's research team said, quote, this would increase costs for U.S.

refiners and U.S. consumers. To those who might say it will be swapped out with oil from a different source,

that's not how this works. Not all oil is the same. Canadian oil is known as heavy sour.

That means it has a high sulfur content. Refinaries set up for that type can't just switch. Most U.S.

produced oil is light sweet, but whatever. The cool part about this, though, is that because of how

certain refineries use certain types of oil, you can even track down where gas prices will rise because of Trump's

promised tariffs. I was sitting down to look it up when I stumbled on Patrick DeHan talking about it

already. He beat me. He said, quote, because refineries in the Great Lakes, Rockies, and Midwest rely on Canadian

heavy crude oil for feedstock to refine, if these are tariffed by 25%, that's going to basically

mandate refiners pay a lot more for feed. Guess who pays? End users, consumers. So, if you're in those areas,

you can expect a 25 cent to 75 cent increase in gas prices, assuming Trump does what he said he
