Which Economies Rely Most on U.S. Trade?Key TakeawaysTrade with the U.S. is equivalent to 48% of Mexico’s GDP and 44% of Vietnam’s in 2025, more than six times the global average of 6.5%.Canada has the third-highest exposure among large economies with GDP above $100 billion, with U.S. trade equal to 31% of its GDP.China, one of America’s largest trading partners, has U.S. trade equal to just 2% of its GDP.When U.S. trade policy shifts, some economies barely notice. For others, trade with the U.S. is large enough to noticeably influence economic growth.The differences are striking: some major economies have deep trade ties to the U.S., while others are far less exposed relative to the size of their economies.This graphic maps each country’s goods trade with the U.S. (exports plus imports) as a share of GDP in 2025, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. International Trade Commission, the World Trade Organization, and the IMF.Why Vietnam Ranks Nearly as High as MexicoVietnam’s economy runs on trade: its exports and imports together were worth 190% of its GDP in 2025.The U.S. is Vietnam’s largest export market, and bilateral trade equals 44% of Vietnam’s GDP, second only to Mexico among large economies.The table below ranks the 25 economies with GDP above $100 billion where trade with the U.S. is largest relative to GDP:RankCountry (GDP over $100B)Trade With the U.S. (% of GDP)1 Mexico47.82 Vietnam43.93 Canada31.34 Taiwan28.25 Costa Rica23.76 Ireland21.37 Thailand19.78 Malaysia19.09 Switzerland17.310 Dominican Republic16.211 Ecuador13.912 Singapore13.313 Guatemala12.914 Chile11.015 South Korea10.616 Netherlands9.717 Hong Kong9.118 Belgium8.819 Colombia8.320 Venezuela6.921 United Arab Emirates6.922 Peru6.923 Hungary6.224 Israel5.725 Philippines5.6Goods trade with the U.S. (exports plus imports) as a share of GDP in 2025. Includes economies with GDP of about $100 billion or more.Vietnam’s exports to the U.S. rose 28.1% to more than $153 billion in 2025, led by computers and electronics amid American efforts to reduce supply chain dependence on China.Taiwan, where goods trade with the U.S. equals 28% of GDP, saw exports to the U.S. rise 78% to $198.3 billion in 2025. Together with Vietnam, Thailand (20%), and Malaysia (19%), four of the eight large economies most exposed to U.S. trade are major hubs in the supply chains behind the world’s electronics.America’s Biggest Partners Are Often Less ExposedMexico and Canada are the only trillion-dollar economies in the top 10, with U.S. trade equal to 48% and 31% of GDP, respectively. For Canada, energy is a major part of that relationship: 90.1% of its crude oil exports went to the U.S. in 2025.Across economies of all sizes, several smaller countries rank even higher. Nicaragua (34%), Cambodia (34%), and Honduras (32%) all rank above Canada, as apparel and assembly industries tie them closely to U.S. demand.The full dataset below ranks every economy with available data, including smaller ones:RankCountryTrade With the U.S. (% of GDP)1 Mexico47.82 Vietnam43.93 Nicaragua33.94 Cambodia33.65 Honduras32.06 Canada31.37 Taiwan28.28 Guyana25.09 Costa Rica23.710 Trinidad and Tobago22.911 Ireland21.312 Thailand19.713 Malaysia19.014 El Salvador18.715 Switzerland17.316 Dominican Republic16.217 Aruba14.618 Grenada14.619 Ecuador13.920 Jamaica13.621 Singapore13.322 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines12.923 Guatemala12.924 Laos12.325 Suriname12.226 Chile11.027 Panama10.628 South Korea10.629 Paraguay10.230 Micronesia9.831 Netherlands9.732 Dominica9.233 Hong Kong9.134 Belgium8.835 Jordan8.836 Barbados8.737 Colombia8.338 Palau7.239 Venezuela6.940 United Arab Emirates6.941 Peru6.942 Fiji6.843 Hungary6.244 Lesotho6.245 Georgia5.946 Haiti5.847 Israel5.748 Philippines5.649 Bahrain5.550 South Africa5.451 Japan5.252 Slovakia5.053 Libya4.954 Lithuania4.855 Germany4.856 Iceland4.757 Italy4.758 Samoa4.659 Djibouti4.660 Slovenia4.661 Uruguay4.262 Brazil4.263 Nigeria4.164 Morocco4.165 United Kingdom4.166 Austria4.167 Madagascar4.068 Vanuatu3.969 India3.970 Sweden3.871 Tuvalu3.872 New Zealand3.873 Denmark3.774 Malta3.675 Gabon3.676 France3.677 Finland3.578 Liberia3.579 Australia3.480 Egypt3.481 Czechia3.382 Indonesia3.383 Liechtenstein3.284 Oman3.285 Iraq3.186 Estonia3.187 Lebanon3.088 Qatar3.089 Tunisia2.890 Togo2.891 Poland2.892 Argentina2.793 Gambia2.794 Tonga2.795 Bangladesh2.796 Namibia2.797 Portugal2.798 Côte d'Ivoire2.799 Spain2.6100 Kuwait2.5101 Latvia2.5102 Turkey2.4103 Democratic Republic of the Congo2.3104 Luxembourg2.3105 Ethiopia2.3106 China2.2107 Ghana2.2108 Sierra Leone2.2109 Pakistan2.2110 Norway2.2111 North Macedonia2.0112 Bulgaria2.0113 Saudi Arabia2.0114 Ukraine1.8115 Senegal1.8116 Republic of the Congo1.8117 Greece1.7118 San Marino1.7119 Kazakhstan1.7120 Timor-Leste1.7121 Croatia1.6122 Maldives1.6123 Mauritius1.6124 Benin1.5125 Bolivia1.5126 Equatorial Guinea1.5127 Botswana1.5128 Zambia1.5129 Angola1.5130 Cabo Verde1.4131 Mauritania1.4132 São Tomé and Príncipe1.4133 Kenya1.4134 Eswatini (Swaziland)1.4135 Brunei1.3136 Mozambique1.3137 Solomon Islands1.3138 Romania1.3139 Algeria1.3140 Serbia1.2141 Mongolia1.1142 Myanmar (Burma)1.1143 Kiribati1.1144 Seychelles1.1145 South Sudan1.0146 Moldova0.9147 Albania0.9148 Kyrgyzstan0.9149 Nauru0.8150 Cameroon0.8151 Guinea0.8152 Uzbekistan0.7153 Cyprus0.7154 Armenia0.7155 Azerbaijan0.7156 Macau0.7157 Yemen0.6158 Bosnia and Herzegovina0.6159 Montenegro0.6160 Nepal0.5161 Rwanda0.5162 Tanzania0.5163 Malawi0.5164 Papua New Guinea0.5165 Uganda0.5166 Central African Republic0.5167 Chad0.4168 Somalia0.4169 Kosovo0.4170 Andorra0.3171 Bhutan0.3172 Guinea-Bissau0.3173 Burkina Faso0.3174 Afghanistan0.2175 Zimbabwe0.2176 Tajikistan0.2177 Turkmenistan0.2178 Comoros0.2179 Burundi0.2180 Russia0.2181 Mali0.1182 Sudan0.1183 Niger0.1184 Belarus0.0185 Iran0.0186 Puerto Rico0.0-- Global Average6.5Goods trade with the U.S. (exports plus imports) as a share of GDP in 2025.China sits at just 2%, about one-third of the global average. Despite the enormous value of U.S.-China trade, it is relatively small compared with China’s $19.6 trillion economy and its trade with the rest of the world. Germany and Japan, two other major economies, are both at 5%.Switzerland (17%) is Europe’s most exposed economy after Ireland (21%). That exposure became costly in 2025, when the U.S. imposed a 39% tariff on many Swiss exports from August to November before a framework deal reduced it to 15%.Learn More on the Voronoi AppIf you enjoyed today’s post, check out The Export Dependency of Major Economies on Voronoi.
