The US current account deficit surged by $138.2 billion in Q1 2025, marking a 44.3% increase to a record $450.2 billion. As a share of GDP, the deficit rose to 6.0%, the highest since Q3 2006, with the annual rate hitting $1.8 trillion. This spike is attributed to businesses front-loading imports ahead of new tariffs, leading to historic levels of trade imbalance.
