U.S. Posts First Deficit Since 1893 on Trade Gap
United States faces its first annual trade deficit since 1893 as 1971 shows an 11 month trend of higher imports than exports. November deficit reaches 1.7 billion for January through November, with exports at 3.16 billion and imports at 3.39 billion.
