Record US imports drive goods trade deficit with China to high in August

Posted: 06 Oct 2018 11:22 AM PDT

The US trade deficit ballooned in August to its highest level in six months as exports of tariff-targeted goods fell while American consumers snapped up imported cars and mobile phones, the government reported Friday.
