Waiting for the Trade Deficit to Go Away

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from AEI · global

Unfortunately, there is no sign that anything serious will be done to reign in the budget deficit. Indeed, there is the real risk that the need for increased defense spending in the wake of the Iran war will further increase our already sky-high budget deficit. For this reason, I would not suggest holding your breath for any meaningful reduction in the trade deficit.
