The United States, under President Donald Trump's administration, expects to collect approximately $50 billion per month in tariff revenues as of August 2025. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed this projection during interviews and public statements, noting that the new tariff scheme, which took effect on August 7, 2025, targets the majority of the country's trading partners. This anticipated revenue marks a substantial increase compared to the nearly $30 billion collected in July 2025, representing a 242% rise from the previous year. 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 manufacture semiconductors domestically. While the administration views the tariffs as a financial success, some analysts caution that the revenue projections may be overestimated and highlight the broader trade implications. The U.S. Treasury continues to see growing monthly tariff income, which is expected to increase further.
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
Trump tariff revenues reach $29.6B in July https://t.co/qDMe5m0iT2
