AI Article Summary

The article discusses how China has become the main customer for Canadian oil transported through the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline amidst trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. This shift is partly influenced by U.S. sanctions on oil from countries like Russia and Venezuela. The pipeline expansion has significantly increased its capacity, allowing Canada to pursue diversified exports outside the U.S. to Asian markets. There are also discussions around further pipeline expansions to increase capacity to meet Asian demand.
