U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that an annual tariff revenue estimate of $300 billion is a good starting point, with the possibility that 2026 tariff revenues could exceed this amount. He also noted that most trade deals are largely completed. Meanwhile, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick projected that the new tariff scheme, effective August 7, 2025, could generate approximately $50 billion in monthly tariff revenues. This new tariff structure applies to about 90 trading partners and represents an increase from the $30 billion collected in the previous month. Lutnick also mentioned that former President Donald Trump assured technology companies they would not face tariffs if they build semiconductor facilities within the United States. These developments reflect ongoing efforts to boost U.S. manufacturing and trade revenues amid regulatory changes.
