Trade gap rolls to record high WASHINGTON - The U.S. trade deficit soared to a record $80.7 billion in the second quarter of this year, fueled by a big increase in imports that dwarfed a smaller gain in exports. The Commerce Department says the deficit in the nation's current account climbed 17.5% in the April-June quarter, after hitting a record high of $68.7 billion in the first three months of the year. The current account is the broadest measure of trade because it includes not only goods and services but also investment flows and U.S. foreign aid payments. usatoday.com
