Here is our current trade deficit with China.
It is currently, at the worst it has ever been. Not just the highest recently. Not just with China. Nope. The highest trade deficit with any country anywhere, by any country anywhere.
Last year it was at an all-time record high already. This year (2018) was even worse.
And this number, does not even include December, of last year.
It is already, at a new all-time high.
