Trade Deficit Worst Ever In History

The Commerce Department notes the deficit occurred amid a booming economy and a weaker dollar, with Japan and Canada accounting for large portions. Western Europe and developing nations also shifted to deficits. The Nixon administration aims to curb purchases of foreign goods in 1973 as devaluation takes effect.
