Abstract

The article focuses on the widening of the US trade deficit in November, which increased to $56.8 billion, nearly doubling from the previous month. This change was attributed to a 5% rise in imports, particularly in pharmaceutical preparations and capital goods, while exports of goods and services decreased by 3.6%. The data reflects significant monthly fluctuations influenced by the Trump administration's changing tariffs. The figures presented are not adjusted for inflation. [Extracted from the article]
