Trump's Tariffs

Trump's Tariff Revenues Are Hitting Record Highs in 2025

Tariff revenues have soared to a record-breaking $113 billion during the current fiscal year — the highest ever recorded — as President Donald Trump continues ramping up trade duties on major global economies.

According to the Treasury Department’s latest “Customs and Certain Excise Taxes” data, the U.S. collected over $27 billion in customs duties in June alone. That marks the single highest monthly total this year and a stunning 301% increase compared to June of last year.

Tariff collections have been rising steadily throughout the year. In January, the government brought in about $7.9 billion. By April, that number had already more than doubled to $16.3 billion. July appears poised to continue the trend, with more tariff revenue rolling in.

The annual inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), is currently around 2.7%, says the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee. While short-term fluctuations are expected, the long-term core inflation rate is projected to remain around 2.60%, according to Trading Economics. Jerome Powell could help this along by lowering inerest rates.
