Now do the US ~~colonies~~ territories!

I wonder what Puerto Rico's biggest international trading partner is? (Not certain of the other colonies' situations)

They are forced to ship everything via Amerikkkan made, owned, and operated ships. So even without the sanctions on Venezuela, which i think is the closest mainland country, they are in effect sanctioned as non-voting second-class "citizens" on the imperial periphery.

Apparently Ireland has the most international imports, and the top for exports were the Dutch.
