According to preliminary data released by the US Census Bureau, the country's goods trade deficit increased by $14 billion in March, reaching a record level of $162 billion.
It was stated that this sharp increase in the trade deficit was caused by companies stocking up on imported goods ahead of a series of 'reciprocal tariffs' that the administration of President Donald Trump had begun to implement.
