I’m seeing news stories about how the US deficit was reduced by half down to $1.4 Trillion within the last year. How is this possible to move this fast? Does the current government have anything to do with it or is it all external factors?

Deficit is current spending vs. income. Last year the government spent about $3t more than it took in, this year that figure is half that. It’s not a reduction in national debt, just a slowing of growth in national debt.
