WTF, this is an old thread.

Technically, the largest trading partner of the US is the EU, but the Census separates the countries when putting trade figures (although it does put the EU). This year, the EU may become the main export market for the US, surpassing Canada, after surging over 15% in 2007.

Actually, exports to the EU have already surpassed or are near the exports to Canada already. This, and China surpassing Canada in 2007 as the main importer to the US is changing the dynamics of North American trade...we are all becoming more globalized.

Top five for the Netherlands: Germany, Belgium, the UK, France, China.
With exports currently at 60% of GDP it's getting to the point where you can hardly consider it an autonomous economy anymore, so yea - we're becoming globalized a bit.
