U.S. imports fell at a 29.3% annual pace in the second quarter of 2025, adding more than 5 percentage points to that quarter's GDP growth.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by multiple independent sources (CBS News, CEPR, Statista) citing BEA data, with the 29.3% figure matching the final/third GDP estimate for Q2 2025. Minor variations (29-30%) across sources reflect different revision stages, not disagreement on the core fact.
