For the year as a whole, the US recorded a goods trade deficit of just above $1.2 trillion, little changed from 2024 but still among the largest gaps seen since 1960. The biggest bilateral deficits were with the European Union ($218.8 billion), especially Ireland and Germany, followed by China ($202.1 billion), Mexico ($196.9 billion), Vietnam ($178.2 billion), Taiwan ($146.8 billion), Thailand ($71.9 billion), Japan ($63.9 billion), India ($58.2 billion), South Korea ($56.4 billion), Canada ($46.4 billion), Switzerland ($34.3 billion) and Malaysia ($30.8 billion).
