foreign visitors came to the U.S.

The U.S. is the largest and most
productive economy in the world
(4.6% of the world’s population producing
25% of the world’s output)
U.S. Economy is Larger than Japan, China
and Germany combined.
China’s growth is mainly at the expense of
Japan, South Korea and Mexico, not the U.S.
