The U.S. trade deficit hit a fresh record high in March as imports surged with consumers and businesses seeking to get ahead of tariffs, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. The shortfall in goods and services totaled $140.5 billion on the month, up 14% from the February total and higher than the $137.6 billion Dow Jones consensus forecast. While exports raise just 0.2%, imports jumped 4.4% to $419 billion, pushed by a $22.5 billion increase in consumer goods. On a year-over-year basis, the deficit has increased 92.6%, or $189.6 billion. The figures came just before President Donald Trump instituted 10% across-the-board tariffs on all imports and threatened higher duties pending a 90-day negotiating period.
