> Some of the main results for transatlantic goods trade are:
> * On the export side, the majority of EU countries recorded a decline in shipments to the United States in 2025. The contraction was most severe in Malta, where exports fell by 40.5 percent. Austria and Cyprus each saw their exports decline by more than one fifth, while Estonia and Slovakia recorded decreases approaching that threshold.
> * An increase in goods exports to the United States was recorded in only five member states: Czechia (+5.1 percent), Italy (+7.2 percent), Denmark (+10.6 percent), Finland (+10.8 percent), and – most strikingly – Ireland, whose exports to the US surged by 52.7 percent.
> * Ireland’s exceptional export performance reflects the disproportionate expansion of pharmaceutical transatlantic trade that has driven aggregate EU export growth to the US while obscuring the deterioration across much of the remaining goods export base.
