U.S. Trade Deficit Hits Record $162 Billion

America’s trade gap just hit an all-time high — and here’s why:

▪️ Companies rushed to import goods before new tariffs kicked in

▪️ This frontloading surge widened the deficit massively

▪️ China’s holding the line — no signs of backing down in trade talks

▪️ Major firms like GM and UPS are spooked — they’ve pulled financial forecasts entirely

This isn’t just numbers — it’s pressure building in the global economy.
