What is the result of the US trade with Germany in 1914?

In 1914, the United States had a trade surplus with Germany, exporting more goods to Germany than it imported. Key exports included agricultural products and industrial goods, while imports primarily consisted of chemicals and manufactured items. However, the outbreak of World War I later that year severely disrupted trade between the two nations, as the U.S. adopted a position of neutrality and Germany faced blockades. This shift marked the beginning of significant changes in U.S. trade relationships as the war progressed.
