U.S. imports fell at a 29.3% annual pace in the second quarter of 2025, adding more than 5 percentage points to GDP growth for that period.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by multiple independent sources (CBS/AP, Barchart, CEPR, Statista) with consistent figures matching the BEA's third estimate for Q2 2025 GDP; minor variance across estimates is expected due to standard BEA revision process.
