How much was import income of trade in May? [br] [originaltext] The U.S. tr

The U.S. trade gap widened in May as higher oil prices and a rising tide of Chinese goods pushed imports to a record, overshadowing a strong export performance, a government report showed on Thursday.
     A separate report showed the number of Americans applying for first-time jobless benefits fell more than expected last week, suggesting continued labor market strength. The May trade deficit widened to $ 60 billion from $ 58.7 billion in April, as imports grew 2.3 percent to $192.1 billion, the Commerce Department said.
     Exports rose 2.2 percent to an all-time high of $132 billion, led by robust shipments of aircraft and other capital goods and record consumer goods exports, giving both the Bush administration and manufacturers something to cheer about.
