Josh Mitchell and Christopher M. Matthews, The Wall Street Journal, comment on Commerce Department trade data released on Wednesday, here…
“The U.S. exported a record amount of oil and fuel in April, helping to narrow the nation’s trade gap while giving the economy a lift.
The country shipped $19.9 billion in petroleum—a category that includes crude oil, liquefied gases and fuels such as gasoline—to other countries in April, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That set a record after adjusting for inflation and seasonal factors. The U.S. is exporting four times as much petroleum each month as it did a decade ago.”
