That 'disinformation' is from JP Morgan and the World Trade Organization.

But it would not be the first time either one of them was wrong! lol

Regardless, its not wrong. The massive trade imbalance the U.S. has is mostly from currency manipulation, but that's another topic. The reality is most countries protect their industries with Tariffs - which is what the graph shows.

Tariffs help CREATE trad deficits - because they create trade imbalance. Again, Trump is trying to reduce or eliminate all tariffs so we have free trade. Of course, as mentioned, this will not change the currency manipulation problem - but that's next....
