The balance of trade between the U.S. imports of $2,294 billion and its exports of $1,593 billion is known as the trade deficit.  The amount of the trade deficit is $701 billion.

Total imports in 2013 = $2,294 billion

Total exports in 2013 = $1,593 billion

Trade deficit = $701 billion ($2,294 - $1,593)
