• Trade deficit soars
  The U.S. trade deficit climbed to $58.3 billion in January, the second-highest level in history, as Americans' appetite for foreign consumer products and automobiles hit record highs.

• China is winning the trade war with the United States - at least 1.5 million Americans have lost their jobs
  A report by the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank released Tuesday concluded that the rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China from 1989 to 2003 cost 1.5 million Americans their jobs. The report found that 199,000 new jobs were created by the growth in trade with China. But the number of jobs lost -- 1.7 million -- resulted in a net loss to American workers, it said.

Both men - and Maali - were charged with 53 counts of hiring illegal immigrants to work in their stores. Eighteen other charges alleged they conspired to use front companies to launder $4.4 million, secretly paid workers and failed to pay federal income and employment taxes.

Maali, 59 a millionaire gift-shop proprietor and owner of several restaurants, was severed from the case and his trial delayed so he could undergo treatment for lung cancer. Khanani, 53, was convicted on 60 counts, including 42 of the 53 original counts of hiring illegal immigrants. The jury also found that Khanani hired the undocumented workers - many from the Middle East - to gain "competitive advantage" over other International Drive merchants.
