US trade deficit widens to $42.3 billion in May, largest gap in 18 months, as imports rise

[mEDITate-OR:
see the trade deficit continue to climb back up....

What we are seeing, for U.S. and Canada, China & Germany is that both exports and imports are expanding. For some like Canada, China & Germany that means their surplus with U.S. expanded. What we are NOT seeing is a collapse of foreign trade.

What is somewhat unexpected is that China's exports to Europe did not collapse, and neither did those from U.S., as a result of the decline in the EURO. If there is an explanation, it must be interesting.
