For a beginner with zero economic knowledge, what metrics can be observed to see the effect of this movement?

In Sweden, the Central Bureau of Statistics publish the import and export from all countries. So far the numbers for 2025 has not been published. There it will be possible to see how the trade between Sweden and USA changed during 2025.

I assume similar statistics are available for other countries.

During the last weeks I have seen in the news that the wines from USA decreased 20% and the travel to USA decreased around 20-30 % during last year. And since the dollar became cheaper the normal behaviour would be that the travel to USA increased.
