US trade deficit grows in 2015 as exports weaken


(MENAFN- AFP) The US trade deficit grew modestly in 2015 as exports declined amid a slowing global economy, government data showed Friday.

For all of 2015, the trade gap widened 4.6 percent from a year ago to $531.5 billion as the fall in exports outpaced the decline in imports, the Commerce Department said.
