Yes, GDP did contract in Q1, 2025. No, this was not due to imports.
Here is a look at how GDP is calculated. While imports are part of the equation, and may have had an affect on domestic production, it did not subtract from GDP artificially lowering the numbers.

President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations.
It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe.
