The article is posted here. Here is a quote from the article.”U.S. gross domestic product, the sum of all goods and services produced, grew at an annual rate of 1.3 percent from January through March after a 2.5 percent pace in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department reported in Washington today.”
Although the article did not blame the US GDP as the reason, it does stand to reason that if we made more products here instead of importing them our GNP would be higher and the trade deficit lower right?
