trade deficit?

Question

Does anyone know if Finland has any trade deficit with the US or any other countries? Does Finland Finland have a trade surplus with the US or any other countries? How does US trade with Finland help or hurt US workers?

Answer 1

In the year 2005 the United States exported $2,254.1 millions of goods to Finland and imported $4,341.7 millions from Finland, so we have a trade deficit with Finland. This means that workers in the U.S. have fewer jobs than they would have if we had a trade surplus with Finland.
