The United States ranks as the world’s second-largest exporter, though exports of goods and services represent only about 12–13% of US GDP. In 2025, trade patterns were significantly influenced by new US tariffs and retaliatory measures from key trading partners. However, the full effects may take time to appear in official data due to advance purchasing, customs delays, shipping bottlenecks, and other supply-chain adjustments. US exports hit a record of just over $3.4 trillion in 2025. The largest share came from machinery and transport equipment, especially aircraft and road vehicles, followed by mineral fuels and lubricants, chemicals and related products, and other manufactured goods. Service exports also rose, led by intellectual property, financial services, and other business services. Key export destinations included the European Union (particularly the Netherlands and the UK), Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, and South Korea.
