trump's tax plan was criticized as likely increasing the trade deficit (i.e., imports greater than exports). in one sense, a trade deficit is a subtraction from gdp, so in theory a larger trade deficit offsets economic growth and reduces the number of jobs. however, increasing the budget deficit (as the tax bill does per cbo and jct estimates) means increasing the trade deficit, other things equal, under the sectoral balance framework. one inconsistent argument made by the administration for the tax cuts is that they would bring in a sizable amount of foreign capital (increasing the capital surplus and its mathematical offset, the trade deficit), which would be invested by corporations and drive increases in gdp. however, this inflow of capital would drive up the price of the dollar, hurting exports and thus raising the trade deficit and thus reducing gdp.
