The trade deficit with the desert country of Saudi Arabia is directly related to oil and petroleum. “We are really at the mercy of Saudi Arabia like never before, even going back to the 1970s,” John Kilduff, Again Capital founding partner, told the Washington Post. Though the U.S. supplied the country with $248.11 million in bombs, grenades, cartridges, and military parts through February 2019, the U.S. still comes up short in trade dealings by $10.5 billion.

The U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, also known as KORUS, went into effect in 2012 after years of negotiation and ratification; however, the U.S. still managed to total $17.9 billion in a trade deficit. In 2017, the trade between the U.S. and Korea was an estimated $154.8 billion, with exports totaling $72.5 billion and imports of $82.3 billion.

The U.S. and Switzerland don't have a bilateral trade pact, but some experts think they should. “A U.S.-Swiss free-trade agreement uniquely presents a tangible and practical opportunity for moving forward President Donald Trump's proposal for zero tariffs and zero barriers,” D.C.-based think tank The Heritage Foundation wrote. As the 14th largest supplier of goods and imports to the U.S. in 2018, Switzerland's top import to the U.S. is pharmaceutical preparations, and the U.S. main import to them is non-monetary gold.

The South China Morning Post warned that "with its deep ties to China and solid friendship with the U.S., Thailand must carefully find a balance in this time of US-China tensions." That balance could be costly based on WorldCity figures reporting the trade, including computer chips, rubber tires, soybeans, and cellphones, between the U.S. and Thailand—which topped $7 billion through February 2019.

The nearly $20 billion deficit the U.S. has with Canada primarily comes from the import of crude oil to the U.S. and the exchange of vehicles between the two. “Either way, the trade imbalance with Canada is nothing like the $55 billion trade deficit with Mexico or the $385 billion deficit with China,” Time magazine reported. The yearly deficit with Canada has declined sharply since reaching a high of $36 billion in 2014 and has declined by nearly 50% compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Alluding to India, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross forewarned New Delhi officials this May that when one country goes against another one, specifically with restrictive trade policies, there are expected consequences. “We don't believe under the WTO (World Trade Organization) rules that retaliation by India would be appropriate,” he said. The U.S. has a trade deficit with India of upwards of $20 billion, but Ross called attention to the 20% tariff on cell phone parts, routers, and switches that India is charging the U.S.

Malaysia International Trade Minister Darell Leiking said no matter what solutions the U.S. and China come up with in the trade wars, the shift in the region's supply chain will make a five- to 10-year impact on world trade, reported the South China Morning Post. Currently, the U.S. is Malaysia's fourth largest trading partner following China, Singapore, and the European Union, according to Trading Economics. Both the U.S. and Malaysia's top import and export "end-use" product is semiconductors.

Transportation is key to the trade between the two countries, and the top import and export to each other deals with aircraft and motor vehicles. The U.S. is Germany's fourth-largest import source after China, the Netherlands, and France, according to a 2017 American Express report. As a member of the European Union, Germany's trade relations with the U.S. would fall under the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.

The escalating trade war between the two countries didn't stop the U.S. from running up a $419.2 billion trade deficit in 2018. President Donald Trump has vowed to reduce that number, and according to Reuters, it has fallen to a five-year low in March 2019. Technology is the primary driver behind the trend, with the U.S. relying heavily on cell phones and computers from China, totaling $119.1 billion.
