If you mean this:
The combined U.S. goods and services trade deficit increased to $679 billion in 2020, compared to $481 billion in 2016, the year before Trump took office. The trade deficit in goods alone hit $916 billion, a record high and an increase of about 21 percent from 2016.
...then this is not merely limited to US-China trade. So you are clearly confusing this.
Your pompous post begins with this:
Did Trump reduce the trade imbalance with China?
This is what your article says about that:
Deficit with China fell: Trump was successful in bringing down the bilateral trade deficit with China, as result of the tariffs he imposed on more than $350 billion worth of Chinese goods. Final figures show the trade gap with China totaled $311 billion in 2020, down sharply to the record high of $419 billion in 2018.
And, yes, I know deficits went up with other countries instead but that is not the issue here.
Always better not to lean out of the car window too far.
