Ok sorry "literal reality, everything you can see in the global north" isn't good enough for you.

Here's one for your book report:

https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/europe/european-union#:~:text=Exports%20were%20%24592.0%20billion%3B%20imports,up%2066%20percent%20from%202012.

The point isn't just the literal trade though, it's the global system that the United States has developed (through often imperial means) that many smaller countries benefit from, happily.
