The European Union has had a growing trade balance with the United States since the turn of the millennium. While in 1999, the EU recorded a monthly trade balance with the U.S. as low as *** million euros a month, the monthly trade balance in the most recent period recorded was over ** billion euros. Both exports and imports have increased over this period, with a particularly notable uptick following the coronavirus pandemic.

The European Union went from consistently running a trade surplus since 2012, to running a trade deficit worth almost 436.1 billion euros in 2022. This sudden surge in the bloc's deficit was largely caused by a more than doubling of the cost of fuel imports due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the EU's subsequent boycott of Russian energy exports. While in theory the EU's trade balance should only reflect its trade with countries outside of the union, as internal EU exports and imports should balance out, due to accounting irregularities the EU in practice runs a trade surplus with itself in most years. Following the substantial trade deficit opened up in 2022, the EU returned to running a trade surplus in 2023, when it recorded a surplus of almost 34.4 billion euros. In 2024, the EU is projected to run a trade surplus of approximately 146.2 billion euros.

The balance of trade of EU member states for intra-EU trade shows us which states are the exporters and which states are the importers throughout the union. Over the period since 2002, France has consistently been the country which runs the largest trade deficit (when imports are greater than exports) with the rest of the EU, while the Netherlands has consistently run the largest trade surplus (exports greater than imports). The two most significant shifts that have occurred over this period has been the transformation of Germany from an exporter to an importer (although this only applies within the EU) and the rise of Belgium, Poland, and Czechia as export powers.

The United Kingdom imports more services and goods from the European Union than exporting them. Although this has been the case since at least 1999, after 2011 the UK-EU trade balance has been more pronounced as the present statistic lays out. When it comes to the UK’s trade with non-EU countries, the picture is decidedly different. Since 2012, the value of UK exports to non-EU countries was higher than the imports, which resulted in a trade surplus. US biggest export market, but EU weighs heavier As of 2023, the UK’s largest export market was outside the European Union.

As of 2024, the United States had a trade deficit of about *** billion U.S. dollars. The U.S. trade deficit has increased since 2009, peaking in 2022. Most recently, 2023 marked the year when the U.S. trade deficit decreased from the previous year. What is trade deficit? A trade deficit is, quite simply, the total value of a country’s imports of goods and services minus the total value of its exports of goods and services. When a country exports more than it imports, it has a trade surplus, and when it imports more than it exports, it has a trade deficit. A trade deficit can mean one of two things: Either the country is failing to produce enough goods for its citizens, or its citizens are wealthy enough to purchase more goods than the country produces (as is the case with the United States). Trading partners The United States’ top export partners are its closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, due in part to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which, pending ratification, will be replaced by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Regarding imports to the U.S., China takes the top spot, followed by Mexico and Canada.
