Answer:

Year       Exports - Imports          Percentage of GDP

1997        -101.4                            1.22%                      

1998        -161.8                            1.84%

1999        -262.1                           2.80%  

2000       -382.1                           3.84%

2001         -371                              3.61%

We can see that the deficit in grew every year except for the year 2001, when it was reduced a bit. This was because the U.S. began to import more goods than it exported.

The completion of the table with the calculation of the surplus or deficit is as follows:

Year          GDP        Exports    Imports     Exports - Imports = Surplus /Deficit

              Billions       Billions     Billions      Deficits     Percentage of GDP

1997       $8,332.0   $954.4    $1,055.8     ($101.4)           1.22%

1998      $8,794.0   $953.9      $1,115.7      ($161.8)           1.84%

1999     $9,354.0    $989.3    $1,251.4      ($262.1)         2.75%

2000   $9,952.0  $1,093.2   $1,475.3      ($382.1)         3.84%

2001  $10,286.0   $1,027.7   $1,398.7      ($371.0)         3.61%

Thus, the exports exceeded the imports each of the years and the percentage of deficits to GDP continued to rise by 50%.
