My country (UK) and the US have an almost uncannily similar amount of export to/ from each other, whilst you're more dependent on our visitors than we are to yours[1].

To be honest, the $ collapsing would affect us a lot less than you think. Welcome to the realities of the US's place in the world.

Still, nice to visit and get cheap jeans.

(U.S. exports of goods and services to the United Kingdom in 2006 totaled $92 billion, while U.S. imports from the U.K. totaled $93 billion.... In 2005, 3.4 million U.S. residents visited the United Kingdom, while 4.2 million U.K. residents visited the United States.
