List of the largest trading partners of the European Union

The European Union (EU) maintains extensive trade relationships with countries around the world, reflecting its role as one of the largest global economic blocs. According to data published by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Trade, the EU's top trading partners are ranked based on the total value of goods traded—combining both imports and exports—measured in billions of euros.
