What's that about? Pretty sure it's the role of Antwerp and Rotterdam as ports of entry for U.S. goods being transshipped elsewhere in Europe, including Germany. Something about the characteristics of the goods seems to mean US stuff goes via Antwerp, German via Hamburg 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

When you look at China/US, it's important to include Hong Kong. When you look at Germany/US, it's even more important to include Belgium and the Netherlands — both countries with which US runs trade *surpluses* 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

If you look at the US trade imbalance with GE+BE+NL, it's actually surprisingly small: US imports only 1.18 times exports, which is well short of our overall imbalance with the world. Which is especially surprising bc GE+BE+NL run a surplus with world at large 5/ — PolitiTweet.org
