Thanks to Tariffs, US Trade Deficit Falls to Lowest Level in 17 Years, Since 2009; Trump Cuts Deficit in Half

Jim Hoft : Jan 8, 2026  The Gateway Pundit

"...Many economists questioned President Trump's focus on trade deficits, with some going so far as to suggest that the tariffs would backfire and actually widen the trade deficit. That view—alongside forecasts that tariffs would cause inflation to move significantly higher—has been challenged by months of data showing declining deficits and little-to-no broad pricing pressure from tariffs." -John Carney, Breitbart News
