Imports of goods into the U.S. dropped a record 19.8% in April, according to estimates released by the U.S. Commerce Department on Friday. That drop is in sharp contrast to a 5.7% uptick of goods imported in March, widely believed to be driven by U.S. retailers and consumers buying in advance of President Donald Trump’s tariff threats, which are expected to cause prices to soar. The new estimates show that America’s trade deficit with the rest of the world narrowed by 46% to $87.6 billion, acco
