The deficit was $40 billion 730 million, higher than the estimated $39 billion 300 million and $39 billion 550 million in July.

The increase in the US trade deficit was mainly offset by the increase in imports.

Imports rose from $225 billion 930 million in July to $228 billion 580 million in August, hitting the highest level since September 2015.

Exports increased from $186 billion 380 million in July to $187 billion 850 million, the highest since July 2015.

In addition, from the data point of view, the US export sector has begun to shake off the negative effects brought by the strong US dollar in the past two years.

Its trade deficit has dropped markedly from 44 billion 640 million US dollars in the same period last year.

This year, from January to August, the US trade deficit totaled 330 billion 740 million US dollars, compared with 335 billion 80 million US dollars in the same period last year.
