I'd be interested in how this is measured though. Most Chinese manufactured goods enter the country through California.
If an importer in California buys Chinese goods, then sells them to a retailer in Texas, does that count as Texas trading with China? Probably not, given this chart.
I'm guessing the EU trade may be less in manufactured goods, which is why we get this phenomenon.
This U.S. map highlights which states trade more with China versus the European Union, using 2025 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Only goods trade is included; trade in services is excluded.
I think the point of entry is what counts; if the products are then shipped to other states, they shouldn't count toward the final destination states. But that's just my opinion, I don't think it makes sense any other way.
It can track the state that placed the order, regardless of where it enters the country. Maybe that makes sense because most of the goods are likely to arrive by ship.
Nice try, fed!
MY STATE ISN'T ON THE MAP!
(also, Iceland is basically bankrolled by Americans these days, so imma say... y'alls win! Not the Europooreans and their regulations)
This map isn't current with all the stuff Trump has declared to be America. Iceland was in the most recent map of America that I saw.
aaah yes. Of course, my mistake!
Voting is anonymous! dam
Exactly what a fed would say
Only if the Fed is k00b! ahahah
~lol

Oh didn't see that trade in services wasn't counted.
Still, I think it's most likely a measurement issue relating to how/when trade is counted.

those are some pretty surprising figures, I must say
I wasn't expecting that either!
I'm not sure they're that surprising depending on measurement
