Trade Gap Narrows: The Trump Economic Boom Continues

September 20, 2018 By Richard C. Young

Growing exports pushed down the trade deficit in the second quarter, signalling U.S. economic strength. Sharon Nunn reported in The Wall Street Journal:

  • “The trade gap narrowed to $101.46 billion in the second quarter from $121.71 billion in the first quarter”
  • “Another part of the report showed companies have continued to move overseas money back into the U.S. at an elevated pace.”
  • “A Wall Street Journal analysis previously found publicly traded U.S. companies were repatriating foreign cash faster than before the tax overhaul”
  • “The overall deficit fell to 2% of current-dollar gross domestic product in 2018’s second quarter from 2.4% in the first three months of this year.”
