NEW YORK, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Commerce Department released a report on Thursday showing that the U.S. trade deficit enlarged to 78.3 billion U.S. dollars in July, up from the revised 59.1 billion dollars in June, and higher than economists' forecast of 77.9 billion dollars.

The U.S. trade deficit widened in July to a four-month high as companies raced to import goods and materials before U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled new tariffs on global trading partners, local media reported Thursday.
