The U.S. government, under President Donald Trump's administration, expects to collect approximately $50 billion per month in tariff revenues following the implementation of new tariffs on a majority of its trading partners starting August 7, 2025. This projection was announced by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The new tariff scheme aims to increase monthly revenues from tariffs, which reached nearly $30 billion in July 2025, representing a 242% increase compared to the previous July. The White House reported that total tariff collections have surpassed $150 billion by late July 2025. Additionally, Trump has communicated to technology companies that tariffs will not be imposed if they build semiconductor manufacturing facilities within the United States. While some analysts caution that the $50 billion monthly revenue estimate may be optimistic, the administration maintains that these tariffs are contributing to increased government income.
The way MAGA paints it, Trump’s trade policy is a triumph, because other countries are eating higher tariffs, while US Customs rakes in nigh on $30bn a month. This a fundamental misunderstanding of trade https://t.co/2JyXDAyWyt
