Oct. 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. trade deficit increased by another $1 billion last month, despite efforts by the Trump administration to narrow the gap using tariffs, U.S. officials said Thursday.
Exports increased 1.8 percent to $140.9 billion from August to September and imports jumped 1.5 percent to $217 billion, the Census Bureau said. That puts the trade deficit at $76 billion.
