U.S. trade deficit hit record low in Q2 2025 due to sharp import drop and policy shifts.
The U.S. current account deficit shrank by 42.9% to $251.3 billion in the second quarter of 2025, the largest quarterly decline on record, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The drop was driven by a $184.5 billion fall in goods imports, including reductions in consumer goods, industrial supplies, and nonmonetary gold, and a $11.3 billion rise in goods exports.
Services exports and imports also increased, while primary income payments rose faster than receipts.
The deficit now stands at 3.3% of GDP, the lowest since late 2023, down from 5.9% in the first quarter.
The shift follows policy changes, including tariffs announced by former President Trump, and reflects ongoing volatility in global trade flows.
