New Republic - We don’t have much of a trade problem with the U.K. because we sell $12 billion more worth of stuff to them than they sell to us. This is our fifth-largest trade surplus, according to The Motley Fool, after the Netherlands ($56 billion), Hong Kong ($22 billion), the United Arab Emirates ($19 billion), and Australia ($18 billion). Most of the other places with which we have trade imbalances are underdeveloped countries.
We don’t have much of a trade problem with the U.K., but the U.K. has a big trade problem with us, because our trade surplus is their trade deficit. Also, we are, among nations, the U.K.’s biggest trading partner, whereas the U.K. is only our seventh-largest trading partner. We’re just not that into them.
