Leftists won’t like this or any economic improvement under the Trump administration
from the Epoch Times
Early forecasts signal a spike in second-quarter GDP growth.
The U.S. goods trade deficit declined sharply in April from a record in March as the effects of front-running President Donald Trump’s tariffs faded.
According to an advance estimate from the Census Bureau, the goods trade gap plummeted 46 percent, to $87.6 billion, from the all-time high of $162.25 billion registered in March. This represented the smallest trade deficit for goods since December 2023.
While economists had anticipated a substantial slowdown, last month’s reading came in better than the consensus forecast of $141.5 billion.
