    Exports of goods decreased $5.1 billion to $171.3 billion and services fell $0.2 billion to $86.4 billion in March, after sales of civilian aircraft, travel services, and petroleum products fell.

    Imports of goods decreased $4.3 billion to $263.8 billion, and services fell $1.1 billion to $63.2 billion in March, amid the decline in demand for passenger cars, pharmaceuticals, home goods, and travel services.
