Turkey says trade deficit narrowed 0.5% in March

ANKARA, April 4 (Reuters) - Turkey's trade deficit narrowed 0.5% year-on-year to $7.3 billion in March, Trade Minister Omer Bolat said on Friday.

Exports stood at $23.4 billion in March, while imports amounted to $30.7 billion, he told a press conference.

He said he would travel to the United States in May to discuss improving trade and the additional U.S. tariffs imposed this week. Bolat also said he will go to Britain that month to discuss the expansion of a free trade agreement.
