The US merchandise trade deficit narrowed in May as imports fell, but the improvement is likely not enough to prevent trade from being a drag on economic growth in the second quarter.
The Commerce Department said the goods trade deficit fell 6.1 percent to $91.1 billion last month, after rising in April.
Trade did not contribute to the economy’s annual growth rate of 1.3% during the first quarter after contributing to an increase in GDP for three consecutive quarters.
