A decrease in U.S. imports would not directly cause an increase in U.S. gross exports. While reducing imports would lead to a decrease in the trade deficit, it would not cause an increase in exports unless there is an increase in foreign demand or a decrease in foreign competition. Choices A, B, and C would likely lead to an increase in U.S. gross exports as they suggest an increase in foreign demand for U.S. goods and services.
