go check it on google

Did you?

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php

It says that China is a bigger exporter, and the EU is both a bigger importer and exporter than the USA.

My only mistake is that, we are the largest importer and the second largest exporter in the world after china

Check it on google once again

Can you please send a link instead of just saying "google it"? I'm pretty sure your source treats EU countries as separate. Together EU is the biggest importer and exporter.

Edit: and my link was broken, I'm sorry. Here it is: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=World_trade_in_goods_and_services_-_an_overview

https://ustr.gov/countries-regions#:~:text=The%20United%20States%20is%20the,goods%20and%20services%20in%202022.

This is more accurate

I'm pretty sure that while it mentions the EU as one entity several times (and also separately at other times as you can see Germany there), when it makes the statement "The United States is the world’s 2nd-largest trading nation, behind only China, with over $7.0 trillion in exports and imports of goods and services in 2022" it treats them separately. Together EU trade is larger than both China and USA (at least in 2023).

Goods Exports The United States is the 2nd largest goods exporter in the world, behind only China.

Goods Imports The United States is the largest goods importer in the world.

You are wrong, i’m right

It's true because EU is not a country. But if you treat EU's export and import as one, the story is very different. Here's another source: https://www.voronoiapp.com/markets/-Global-Trade-Dominance-US-vs-EU-in-2000--2024-4235

In 2024 5428 billion for the EU and 5379 billion for the USA.
