Canada
Figure 2.2 shows the major trading partners of the United States. The top 10 accounted for 62 percent of total U.S. exports and 69 percent of total U.S. imports in 2013. The data suggest that the United States generally follows the trend we identified earlier, that is, for developed nations to trade with one another. Mexico and Canada are major U.S. trading partners in great part because they are joined with the United States in NAFTA. They also each share a common border with the United States, which means lower freight charges, shorter delivery times, and easier and less expensive contacts between buyers and sellers than would otherwise be the case.
