The republic of Ireland is Northern Ireland's primary external trading partner and its leading export market. However, Northern Ireland has consistently run a trade deficit with its southern neighbour. Other major trading partners include Germany, France, and the United States. Among the country's principal exports are textiles, transport equipment, and electrical and optical equipment.
