Balance of Trade

-57800000000

The United States has recorded persistent trade deficits since 1976, largely reflecting strong demand for imported industrial supplies, capital equipment and consumer goods. In 2025, trade dynamics were significantly shaped by the rollout of new tariffs. Imports climbed to record highs in the first half of the year as businesses accelerated purchases ahead of higher duties. However, import growth slowed sharply toward year-end, suggesting that tariffs were beginning to curb demand. Overall, the US posted a trade deficit of nearly $900 billion in 2025, broadly unchanged from the previous year but still among the largest shortfalls since 1960. The widest bilateral goods deficits were with the European Union ($218.8 billion), particularly 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).

Exports

314700000000

The United States is the world’s second-largest exporter, yet exports of goods and services account for only about 12–13% of US GDP. In 2025, global trade flows were reshaped by the introduction of new US tariffs and retaliatory measures from trade partners. The full impact of these policies may take time to appear in official trade data, as advance buying, customs delays, shipping disruptions, and broader supply-chain adjustments can temporarily distort reported flows. US exports reached a record high of just over $3.4 trillion in 2025. Machinery and transport equipment, particularly aircraft and road vehicles, accounted for the largest share, followed by mineral fuels and lubricants, chemicals and related products, and other manufactured goods. Exports of services also increased, supported by intellectual property, financial services, and other business-related services. The US’ largest export markets included the European Union (notably the Netherlands and the UK), Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, and South Korea.
