Ranked: Which Countries Rely Most on U.S. Trade

Which G20 Countries Rely Most on the U.S. for Exports?

The U.S. absorbs 18% of the average G20 economy's exports.

Canada and Mexico each ship roughly three-quarters of their goods exports to the U.S.

Just 0.9% of Russia's exports go to the U.S., the lowest share among G20 countries.

Access to the United States, the world's largest economy, remains crucial for countries around the world. However, America's closest neighbors rely far more heavily on the U.S. market than other major global economies.

This visualization ranks Group of 20 (G20) countries by the share of their goods exports sent to the U.S., using the latest available data (2025) from UN Comtrade and the Observatory for Economic Complexity .

Only goods trade is included. The African Union and European Union are excluded despite being G20 members.

Canada and Mexico are particularly exposed to shifts in U.S. trade policy because of their deeply integrated trade relationships with the United States.

The U.S. absorbs 72.3% of Canadian exports and 81.9% of Mexican exports, compared with just 18.1% for the average G20 economy. This makes both countries particularly vulnerable to changes in U.S. trade policy.

The table below lists G20 economies alongside the U.S. share of their exports in 2025.

Decades of economic integration have helped produce this concentration. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which entered into force in 1994, reduced trade barriers between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. It was replaced by the USMCA in 2020.

More recently, the second Trump administration has imposed tariffs on both U.S. neighbors. Talks between Ottawa and Washington have broken down, leading to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs .

Meanwhile, Mexico, the most exposed G20 country, continues negotiations with the U.S. in an effort to avoid further tariffs on its agricultural and automotive sectors.

Outside North America, no G20 country sends a comparable share of its exports to the United States. However, traditional U.S. allies including Japan (18.6%), South Korea (17.4%), and the United Kingdom (15.9%) still send substantial portions of their goods exports to the U.S.
