A. Increased manufacturing in the United States
B. Increased prices at Walmart
C. Increased U.S. exports
D. Increased imports from China

Respuesta :

D. Increased imports from China

The correct answer is D.

A trade deficit takes place in international trade when the amount of goods and services imported by a country exceeds the amount exported. It involves an outflow of domestic currency to foreign markets and measures need to be adopted to finance such deficit.

The spectacular growth of the amount of Chinese imports, has generated a trade deficit as it has contributed to the excess of the number of imports that enter the US, if compared to the amount of exports sold abroad by the US.
