USA's $900 Billion Problem - Joe Blogs
USAs $900 billion problem just got worse
Despite tariffs, the US trade deficit is still surging so whats really going on?
In this video, we break down the latest US trade data, including the sharp widening of the deficit in December and why imports continue to outpace exports. Donald Trump introduced tariffs to reduce the imbalance, but the numbers tell a very different story.
We look at:
The $900 billion total trade deficit and what it actually means
Why the $1.2 trillion goods deficit is so important
Whats happening to US imports and exports right now
How trade is shifting from China to Mexico, Vietnam and Taiwan
Why tariffs may be moving the problem rather than solving it
The new 15% tariff proposal under Section 122
And whether the US really has a balance of payments crisis
This is a clear, data-driven analysis of the US economy, global trade flows, and the real impact of tariffs.
