Summary

Description
English: U.S. Trade Deficit

Net exports (exports less imports or X-M) is one of the components of GDP. In the U.S., net exports are negative, meaning imports are greater than exports. This is a trade deficit. Mathematically, a trade deficit reduces GDP, other things equal. The U.S. trade deficit decreased from $627.7 billion in 2019 to $617.7 billion in 2018, down $10.9 billion or 1.7%. [1] The U.S. trade deficit with China (goods only) decreased from $420 billion in 2018 to $346 billion in 2019, down $74 billion or 20%.
