The American deficit of the foreign trade balance expanded in January due to the growth of imports faster than exports.
Economists noted that the trade balance deficit of the USA increased by 1.9% and reached 68.2 billion dollars in January. At the same time, imports of goods into the country increased by 1.5%, while exports of goods rose by 1%.
"This indicates that the foreign trade balance of the USA remains under pressure due to the growth of imports and a significant increase in exports. The trend of increasing the deficit may have a negative impact on the American economy as a whole," noted economist John Doe.
