In all the talk of US trade deficits forcing Trump et al. to erect tariff barriers to "rebalance trade", we've lost or ignored the fact that the US has an enormous digital trade surplus. See, for instance, this paper Estimating digital product trade through corporate revenue data. The US's main conventional export is currently petroleum, but it exports over twice as much in digital advertising. The US's overall "digital exports" are larger than the total exports of France, which is the world's 7th leading exporter. However, these numbers are not typically included in reports about trade deficits or surpluses.

In a drastic reversal, Trump has gone from embracing “the opportunity to build even more bridges” with Canada in 2017 to threatening to stop the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge until Canada “treats the U.S. with … Fairness and Respect.”
