The two leading nations in terms of volume of exports according to the latest data tend to be China and the U.S., although the correct answer is not confirmed by the provided data.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked about the two leading nations in terms of volume of exports. Based on the provided data concerning trade balances and economic globalization, the correct answer is not explicitly given. However, considering that the U.S. has consistently run trade deficits, and Germany has a significant trade surplus, we can infer that Germany might be one of the leading exporters.
