As President Trump has cheered what he called “record jobs,” he has chosen not to dwell on the persistently high unemployment rate for Black workers. Released last week, the rate was 6.6% in June, remaining the highest of any racial group.

The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services widened in May as America imported more goods than it sold abroad. Imports of foreign goods, including pharmaceuticals and equipment for data centers, hit a record high.
