[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US Trade deficit surged 25% because of tariffs. That is....not good.[/quote] The number reported today show that th trade deficit went down by 5.1%. Bu tthat isn't the win MAGA wants it to be. It shows a reduction in imports as a result of tariffs. It doesn't mean that there was an increase in exports or an increase in domestic production. Combined this with inflation caused by tariffs and it isn't the rosy picture Trump et al would have you believe. "U.S. imports in August declined to $340.4 billion, a 5.1% decline compared with July, while exports rose by 0.1% to $280.8 billion." https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/trade-deficit-declined-in-august-delayed-figures-show-dc6c58e1?mod=trade_news_article_pos1[/quote]
