Trade Deficit

Expert replies
by ani781 » Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:30 am
Though this question has been discussed more than once, I still have a question in the meaning front. Why it is "United States trade deficit with Mexico" and not "United States' ... with Mexico" ?

In contrast to ongoing trade imbalances with China and Japan, the United States trade deficit with Mexico declined by $500 million as a result of record exports to that country.

A) In contrast to ongoing trade imbalances with China and Japan, the United States trade deficit with Mexico declined by $500 million as a result of record exports to that country.
B) In contrast to ongoing trade imbalances with China and Japan, the United States sold record exports to Mexico, reducing its trade deficit by $500 million.
C) When compared with ongoing trade imbalances with China and Japan, the United States sold record exports to Mexico, reducing their trade deficit by $500 million.
D) Compared with ongoing trade imbalances with China and Japan, the United States sold record exports to Mexico, reducing the trade deficit by $500 million.
E) Compared to ongoing trade imbalances with China and Japan, the United States sold record exports to Mexico, reducing the trade deficit by $500 million.

You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

IMO A
despite the nonparallel comparisons in BCDE, I don't think "reducing" after sold have the right tense. It should be in past tense not the present continuous.
