We’ve just got the numbers in and back in November 2025 (which feels like a thousand years ago, my god), the US trade deficit widened by the most its ever widened since 1992 and it might just be because of AI…
Speaking of the 90s, the trade gap increase was a whopping 94.6%, climbing up to $56.8 billion, even though the prediction was $40.5 billion. Crazy numbers.
So for those of you that don’t know (me), a trade gap is well… hold lemme google it… the trade gap is the difference between the monetary value of a nation’s exports and imports of goods over a certain time period and if a country imports a greater value than it exports, it has a trade deficit.
Yeah, I just knew that off the top of my head, no biggy.
Now, BECAUSE of AI, America has seen a lot of imports of investments and tech and goods and psychosis ‘cos we need all that to build all these data centres and support this new infrastructure.
So, why have these November numbers only just come out now? Well, you can probably guess, but it’s because of the government shutdown.
This might mean that economists will have to adjust their predictions for the economy accordingly and we may not see as much growth as we previously thought there would be.
Only time will tell of course if all this AI investment is worth it, but I’m asking ChatGPT and he/she/it says it’s a really good thing, so imma go with that for now.
