This short video looks at evidence of the depth of trade dependency on the US economy.
The United States is the single largest export destination for one-fifth of the world’s countries. About 43 percent of total U.S. trade occurs within multinational firms (intra-firm trade), especially in the case of U.S. trade with advanced economies.
Mexico in particular has a very high trade dependency on the USA. Exports of goods and services account for 24% of annual Mexican GDP and just under 80% of their total exports.
