India remained among the United States’ key trading partners in November as the US trade deficit widened sharply, due to higher imports and a decline in exports, according to official data released on Thursday. During the month, the United States recorded a goods trade deficit of $4.4 billion with India, placing it among the countries with which Washington ran notable trade gaps. At the same time, the United States recorded goods trade surpluses — where exports exceeded imports — with several partners. Further, the report said, consumer goods imports increased sharply, including pharmaceuticals, while capital goods imports also climbed, led by computers and semiconductors. The next U.S. trade report, covering December and full-year data for 2025, is scheduled for release on February 19, 2026.
