The answer is: United States would have a deficit of $11 billion in the given year.
A trade surplus occurs when a country exports more than it imports. On the other hand, a deficit is when a country imports more products than it exports.
In the above example, the United States is exporting only $5 billion of goods but importing $16 billion of products. This means that the total trade deficit in the example is 16-5 = $11 billion.
This actually represents the current situation of the United States where it has a significant trade deficit with many major economies in the world, most noticeably with China.
Germany was the aggressor nation. The event described was the <u>siege of Leningrad</u>, part of Germany's World War II aggression against the Soviet Union. The siege lasted from September 1941 to January 1944, a total of 872 days. More than 1,000,000 Soviet civilians died during the siege. (German forces had finally weakened by then.)
Article 6, Supreme Law, refers to the Supreme Law of the Land.
It states,
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
Meaning that:
-the Constitution,
-the Laws of the U.S. (current, and future ones),
-Treaties that have been made or that will be made -
Are what make up the Supreme Law of the Land.
