US has a per-person trade SURPLUS with most of the countries, despite tariff talk.

Even with discussions around tariffs, take example tariff of 31% on Swiss goods entering the US, the US actually exports more to each Swiss person than it imports from them.

In 2024, total goods trade between the US and Switzerland was an estimated $88.4 billion. U.S. goods exports to Switzerland were $25.0 billion, while imports were approximately $63.4 billion.

However, when you look at it per person:

* **US Exports per Swiss Person:** $25.0 billion / \~8.7 million people ≈ $2,874
* **US Imports per Swiss Person:** $63.4 billion / \~8.7 million people ≈ $7,287

So where is the problem?
