Belarus and the british and russia, trading with their puppet masters

According to the statistisches Bundesamt China and the USA are the largest trade partners of Germany, and have been for a while. I'm doubting that the other countries are more accurately displayed

This is one of the instances where the second largest trade partner might be more interesting.

Germany should be ashamed, lying in bed with most of Europe! What a slut country! /s

Finland: "Sweden, you're my best friend"

Sweden: "Thanks"

The baltics are just a downward line of trade :3

Is this why we brexited, really? So we didn't have to have the German flag on our country in this map? This is the only explanation that makes any sense, 10 years later.

❌ More sovereignty

❌ Stronger economy

❌ Better trade deal

❌ Lower immigration

❌ Sunlit uplands

✔️ Fuck off, Germany

Ireland should actively try to trade within the EU more. Irelands biggest exports go to the US. 2nd is the Netherlands (mostly pharma) and then UK. Imports are US and UK. Neither are in the EU.

So everybody loves Germany, and Germany loves France.

And then there is UK…

Sad Canada noises

I hope (as a Brit) that the UK will amend its ways after the damage we dealt ourselves through Brexit and our “special relationship”.

I assume Switzerland is exporting legal tax avoidance to the US?

The strangest one to me is Slovenia.

When looking it up, some funny stuff is going on: in 2024 Slovenia exported $22.46b to Switzerland, $21.76b from that is pharmaceutical products. An almost 50x increase in exports in less than 10 years. https://tradingeconomics.com/slovenia/exports/switzerland

Most of that pharmaceutical trade is from "intercompany trade". https://cee.swiss/countries-slovenia/?lang=en

Some Swiss fiscal accountants are having a laugh.

Economic victory!

Huh i thought iceland would have been sweden cause most products i saw over there that i could easily identify were swedish but i guess the ones that looked icelandic were imported from the netherlands.

Thank you for the infographic, I love these

Some would say that Germany achieved the economical win they could get via military back in the days

🤣 🇳🇱 -> 🇩🇪 -> 🇫🇷 -> 🇪🇸 -> 🇵🇹
