Answer 2

B) About $150 billion dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1975, U.S. exports exceeded foreign imports by $12,400 million, but that would be the last trade surplus the United States would see in the 20th century. By 1987, the American trade deficit had swelled to $153,300 million ($153 billion), and it kept swelling for the duration of the 1990s as the dollar depreciated and foreign countries demand for U.S. exports increased.
