What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Portuguese goods exports to the United States fell by approximately 5% in volume during 2025, placing Portugal sixth among EU countries with the largest declines. While 11 of the EU’s 27 member states recorded a year-on-year fall in goods volume, overall EU exports to the US ended 2025 at roughly the same level as the previous year, partly due to early purchasing by American companies.
