US trading partners over the last 10 years
The nation’s trading relationships change over time as economies grow, trade policies shift, and supply chains adjust. Diplomatic and economic ties, such as sanctions or new trade agreements, can also influence these trends.
Over the past decade, several countries moved sharply in the rankings of US trading partners. Luxembourg, Poland, and Vietnam went up by 10 or more spots, while Russia, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia went down by more than 10. The US currently has sanctions in place on both Venezuela and Russia, which may help explain part of their decline in rank.
On the other hand, five countries maintained the same position as in 2015:
- South Korea (#7)
- New Zealand (#47)
- Nigeria (#53)
- Jordan (#60)
- Brunei (#73)
Changes in rank can result from shifts in trade with that specific country or from changes in trade with others that alter overall standings.
From 2015 to 2024, Russia and Venezuela moved the most spots in the rankings for top US trading partners.
