As a percentage of GDP, compared to every other country on earth bar four:

As a percentage of GDP (so, in a relative sense, just like I said) the united states is the 5th lowest importer in the world.

Aggregate/numerical total figures like you posted are almost meaningless in this context

The issue is usually that the bean counters override the engineers when push comes to shove.
The fact that they had to contend with a less than ideal substrate of almost pure sand, water table within two feet of the surface and situated in a flat area known for its tornadoes, hurricanes and flooding suggests a placement based on something other than engineering.
The placement of these data centres really should be right next to all those wind farms and solar arrays in Texas or Arizona.

interesting i would have thought China and India would have imported more ( did some value-adding and exported a hefty percentage of the imported goods )
