“The nation’s trade deficit rose by 94.6% in November after posting the lowest imbalance in years a month earlier, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Thursday. The trade deficit’s sharp rise occurred despite tariffs imposed by the Trump administration and after the nation posted its lowest trade deficit since the first quarter of 2009, CNBC reported. The United States exported $292.1 billion in goods and services in November, which was $10.9 billion and 3.6% less than in October, according to the Census Bureau report. … The United States imported $86.9 billion more goods than it exported in November, but that sum was offset by exporting $30.1 billion more in services than the nation imported, for a total deficit of $56.8 billion.” (01/29/26)
