U.S. Trade Deficit Deepens in March Defying Efforts
The Commerce Department indicates a March trade deficit similar to February's 597.6 million, pushing this year's first-quarter shortfall past 1 billion dollars. January and February totals show imports outpacing exports by 916.4 million, with critics urging action as Mills signals hearings on protective trade measures while Connally opposes strict quotas. The deficit follows a 1971 pattern of growing imbalances tied to currency realignment and the Nixon administration's policies.
