WASHINGTON — America’s trade deficit with the rest of the world rose to its highest level in history last year as the United States imported more goods than ever, including a record amount from China, ballooning the deficit to $891.3 billion and delivering a setback to President Trump’s goal of narrowing that gap. -snip

Not really a thing of convenience tbh. If you look through any of my posts where I talk about trade, I state that I'm not a fan of protectionist goals or protectionist trade policy. This is Trump failing to meet a goal that I never really thought was a valid objective.

"The Census Bureau on Tuesday reported America's trade gap in December actually dropped slightly over the month to $44.3 billion. But on the whole, the country's trade shortfall in 2016 ballooned by $1.9 billion – or 0.4 percent – over the year to $502.3 billion. That's the largest the gap has been since 2012." https://www.census.gov/foreign-trad...lease/ft900.pdf
You chose to use NYT though. Do you feel they are fake news yes or no?

"AMERICA'S INTERNATIONAL trade deficit climbed to a four-year high in 2016 just before President Donald Trump – who during election season bemoaned the country's trade shortfall and vowed to turn things around – stepped into the White House to replace former President Barack Obama.

Exports last year were down nearly $52 billion – 2.3 percent – though imports also declined by $49.9 billion, or roughly 1.8 percent. A strong dollar and a sluggish global economy were cited by economists as complicating factors affecting U.S. trade dynamics throughout 2016." https://www.usnews.com/news/article...amas-final-year
