"... A wider overall trade deficit in August was broadly expected, after data on goods released last week showed the deficit climbed for the third month in a row."
"Imports increased 0.6% in August, Friday’s report said. Exports, meanwhile, fell 0.8% to $209.43 billion from July’s $211.10 billion."
3 months in a row... in summer months! This has got to be some kind of record. And those sanctions aren't doing shit to help trade, by weakening the US' partners he's killing exports. There must be a lot of head to desk banging at the department of trade, this guy is failing marco-economics 101.

- American businesses will just end up paying more for base materials to transform and erode their competitiveness. It's backwards as shit, and it's usually whatzarkonite
- unions and lefties want.zarkonite
- Huh? It's Trump that wants everyone to pay higher prices, hence his trade wars. "Lefties and unions" want fair policies for workers.formed
- I've not seen a "lefty or union" asking for diminished trade, increased material costs and poor international relationships. Quite the opposite.formed
- dude, unions are very anti free-trade. The left also doesn't want to do business with countries that don't hold the same eco and social standards we do.zarkonite
- Unions blame free trade for reduced wages and job losses everywhere.zarkonite
