quote:

“Evidence from the past year demonstrates the America First Trade Policy is working,” Greer writes:

Since the President began implementing his policy in April 2025, the trade deficit in goods decreased, on a year-over-year basis, every month through December 2025. Further, the largest driver of our overall trade deficit in goods—our trade deficit with China—was down 32 percent, year-over-year, in 2025. For the first time since 2000, China is no longer the trading partner with which the United States has its largest trade deficit. In other words, in one short year, the United States has substantially diversified its import sources and reduced its import dependency on China. [Emphasis added]

Yep.

Running a small to moderate deficit is ok. But we have a very large one and have for a very long time and thats the issue.

First time we posted back to back months like this since 2022. And 22 was super fueled by massive gov spending bills.

ISM US Manufacturing Activity:

52.4 vs 51.5 exp.
