Click on the table for U.S. international trade in goods by area. Use the data in this table to create a bar graph showing trade between the United States and Canada, Japan, and Western Europe. Use one bar each to represent exports from the U.S. to each of the other countries and another bar for each import from the other countries to the U.S.

1. Which country or region sells the most to the U.S.?
2. Which country or region purchases the most from the U.S.?
3. Why would industrial nations trade with each other ? wouldn't they all have the same ability to specialize in hi?tech and high?skilled industries?
