TEXAS - The Brookings Institution has released its latest report on trade between the largest metropolitan areas in North America, which included five Texas metros.
Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown ranked as the number one area that conducted the highest trade value with the two other countries in North America: Canada and Mexico.
The bulk of products exported and imported in Houston are energy products, chemicals and plastics — not advanced products.
