U.S.-Arab Trade Reaches $121.7 Billion, But the Stakes Are Rising
U.S. exports to the Arab world rose 14.7 percent in 2025, but tariffs, energy risk, strategic purchasing, and regional conflict are rapidly reshaping the commercial relationship.
In 2025, U.S. trade with the 22 markets of the Arab world expanded sharply. U.S. goods exports to the region climbed to $78.66 billion, a gain of $10.07 billion, or 14.7 percent, over 2024. At the same time, U.S. goods imports from the region fell to $43.05 billion, down $4.01 billion, or a drop of 8.5 percent. The net effect was a significant widening of the U.S. goods trade surplus with the Arab world, which rose from $21.54 billion to $35.61 billion – an increase of $14.07 billion in a single year. Total two-way trade reached $121.71 billion.
