I found the full year 2017 trade numbers...

2017 USA Total Imports - $2.9 trillion - up 6.7%

2017 USA Total Exports - $2.33 trillion - up 5.5%

Approximately 30% - 35% of USA exports are “Services.”

Approximately 60% - 65% of USA exports are “Goods.”

USA petroleum exports hit a record high in 2017, but we still had a “petroleum gap” deficit of $96 billion.

Great! the USA is exporting food and raw materials and importing finished goods made by third world peasants and the profit margin is being gobbled up by multi nationals. We are losing the economic war and becoming third world nation. Thanks Free Trade.
