The numbers don\u2019t lie\u2014tariffs forced China to blink first. After Trump\u2019s 145% hammer drop, Beijing folded tariffs to 10% while we cut ours to 30%. That\u2019s leverage in action. The deficit plunge proves what happens when America negotiates from strength\u2014not weakness.<\/p>\n

GDP\u2019s 4.6% surge? Direct result of reshoring manufacturing and kneecapping China\u2019s trade abuses. The chaos worked\u2014now watch as industries rebuild stateside with 25% wage growth in key sectors.<\/p>\n

Weak politicians would\u2019ve folded; real leadership delivers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

AFP<\/a> reported on this amazing economic news.<\/p>\n

\n

The US trade deficit more than halved in April as President Donald Trump\u2019s global tariffs reversed an import surge that preceded the new duties.<\/p>\n

The White House is likely to frame the smaller deficit as a win, noting a report of its expected boost to GDP growth, although analysts warn that businesses had likely paused further imports while waiting for countries to strike deals.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s biggest economy logged a trade gap of $61.6 billion in the same month that Trump unveiled 10 percent levies on almost all trading partners. This was down by 55.5 percent from March, the largest decrease on record, said the Commerce Department.<\/p>\n

In March, the overall US trade deficit widened to $138.3 billion as businesses sought to get ahead of Trump\u2019s promised duties.<\/p>\n
