Map highlights US top trading partners as tariff policy shifts under Trump

President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, citing immigration concerns. This marks a significant shift in U.S. trade policy with its largest trading partners. In 2023, Mexico and Canada were the U.S.'s top trading partners, with trade values of $798.8 billion and $774.3 billion, respectively. China followed as the third largest partner at $575 billion. The Canadian Business Council opposed the tariff plan, stating it could harm businesses and weaken North America's economic strength. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce emphasized the need for a new approach in the changing trade relationship.
