Which countries would be most affected by a second Trump term?

A ranking of America’s 70 largest trading partners

IF DONALD TRUMP wins a second term in November’s election, major shifts in American policy would follow. The Republican platform—a 16-page document that provides insight into how Mr Trump could lead—calls for a massive programme to deport undocumented immigrants and tighter controls on who comes into the country. Trading partners should expect higher tariffs and restrictions: the former president has already outlined plans for levies on all imports. Military aid would probably become more conditional; allies would be browbeaten into increasing their own spending on defence.

To help make sense of the global repercussions, EIU, our sister company, ranked America’s 70 largest trading partners by their exposure to Trumpian policies (see map). The ranking—which EIU calls the “Trump risk index”—is based on countries’ exposure to American policies on trade, security and immigration.
