America

Visualizing the Largest Trading Partners of the U.S.

The U.S. economy grew 5.7% in 2021, the fastest pace since 1984, bouncing back from the 2020 recession. That’s great news for America, but what happened to the country’s trade balance?

America’s trade deficit of goods shot up to a whopping record $1.1 trillion in 2021 from $922 billion in 2020, leading to its largest-ever deficit. Imports dwarfed exports, reaching new highs of $2.9 trillion in 2021. U.S. exports to other countries accounted for $1.8 trillion.

Timsit’s article is greatly inflating the number of mass shootings by including things that do not fit in the category. This is nothing new for the Washington Post.
