WASHINGTON, D.C. — The US trade deficit expanded in September to its widest since early 2022, government data showed on Tuesday, as imports increased while companies braced for a dockworkers strike and sweeping tariffs if Donald Trump is reelected.
The world's biggest economy saw its trade gap jump 19.2 percent to $84.4 billion, said the Department of Commerce, with imports growing by 3.0 percent.
