Original Note:
Trade deficits and budget deficits are fundamentally different. A trade deficit is when a country imports more than it exports. A budget deficit happens when the government’s expenditures exceed its revenues, necessitating borrowing or financing to cover the shortfall. https://taxfoundation.org/blog/trade-deficit-myths/
