🚨 TEXAS TRADE TRIUMPH: Port Laredo Ranks #1 in the U.S. 🇺🇸💼🌎
Texas is once again the #1 trade state in America, with Port Laredo officially ranking as the nation’s top port for total trade, according to the latest Texas Comptroller “Fiscal Notes” report.
📈 Key Numbers:
• Texas trade value hit a record $1.1 trillion, up 67.6% since 2020.
• Port Laredo alone moved $339.5 billion in goods — more than any other U.S. port.
• Trade with Mexico represents over 51% of Texas’ total trade value.
Leaders say the milestone proves Texas’ global power — but also signals the need to prepare for the 2026 USMCA review, which could reshape North American trade.
Laredo Mayor Dr. Victor Treviño praised the news but urged continued investment:
“We can’t rest on our laurels — our future goal is to be one of the top five commercial crossings in the world.”
Texas’ 32 ports, railways, and intermodal hubs now account for 20% of all U.S. trade, with experts calling it the backbone of a “North American economic super-region.”
