🚹 FACT CHECK: Trump claims the U.S. trade deficit is down 78% due to tariffs and says it “will go positive” this year.

Reality check 👇

The 78% figure appears to come from comparing two specific monthly readings — not full-year data. Monthly trade numbers can swing sharply due to timing effects (like importers rushing goods before tariffs).

Broader annual data still shows a large U.S. trade deficit, even if slightly lower than peak levels. A single monthly surplus is possible — but a full-year surplus remains unlikely based on current trends.

Always zoom out before reacting to headline numbers. 📊
