THE US current account trade deficit grew this winter to its widest imbalance in three years.
A big increase in imports of oil, cars and machinery and a drop in US earnings on overseas investments were responsible for the increase.
The deficit in the current account jumped 15.7 percent to US$137.3 billion in the January-March quarter. That's up from US$118.7 billion in the final three months of last year, the US Commerce Department reported yesterday.
