In a few sentences summarize your conclusions from the data analyzed on U.S. imports and exports over the last five years and explain how the data reflect the economic principles you have learned. According to the data of U.S. imports and exports over the last five years, in the year 2019 and 2020 both import and goods and services declined. During the year 2020, COVID-19 hit the US economy badly so that export of goods declined by 15.22 percent. The data reflects the trade deficit in the U.s.economy because in all five years the amount for imports is higher than that of exports. It means that the U. S. economy is highly dependent on the goods produced in other countries.
