Trump’s Tariff Revenues Smash Record With $28 Billion Haul in July

Trump’s Tariff Revenues Smash Record With  Billion Haul in July

This article was originally published by The Epoch Times: Trump’s Tariff Revenues Smash Record With $28 Billion Haul in July

In a stunning fiscal feat, tariff collections reached an impressive $28 billion in July, propelling total revenue for the fiscal year to over $151 billion. This surge follows President Trump’s aggressive trade policies as the August 1 deadline for reciprocal tariffs looms closer.

The Daily Treasury Statement, published on July 29, reveals that July’s figures not only set a new record but also eclipsed June’s previous high of $27 billion.

President Trump has confidently asserted that these elevated tariffs will significantly enhance government revenue. “The big money will start coming in on Aug. 1,” he stated during a Cabinet meeting on July 8, referring to the impending tariffs set to affect numerous trading partners unless they negotiate last-minute agreements with the U.S.

In the lead-up to this critical deadline, Trump announced a 25% tariff on India due to its procurement of Russian energy and arms, alongside a 15% duty on South Korea, which now matches Japan’s tariff rate.

Despite Trump’s insistence that the August 1 deadline is set in stone, his aides have hinted at possible leniency once the tariffs are active. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently indicated that “the president is always willing to listen” to countries seeking adjustments post-deadline, suggesting that tariff rates may be reassessed based on trade negotiations or concessions.

Given the soaring tariff revenues, Trump has even floated the idea of issuing rebate checks to taxpayers, quipping on July 25, “We have so much money coming in, we’re thinking about a little rebate.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent forecasts that tariff collections could skyrocket to $300 billion by year’s end, roughly double the current figures. However, some experts question the realism of this projection. Sergio Altomare, cofounder of Hearthfire Holdings, characterized Bessent’s estimate as “aggressive” but acknowledged the underlying trajectory as sensible.

“More importantly, the focus shouldn’t be purely on the number but rather on the structural shift it represents,” Altomare noted in communication with The Epoch Times, framing the tariffs as part of a broader strategy to rebuild industrial jobs that had been lost to globalization.

Tariff Impacts

While economists generally agree that Trump’s tariffs are altering trade dynamics and generating unprecedented government revenue, there remains significant debate about the implications for consumers. Tariffs act as a tax on imports, yet the burden is often distributed: foreign exporters may absorb part of the cost to maintain access to the U.S. market, while domestic companies may choose to reduce margins rather than passing on the entire price increase to consumers.

Bessent has estimated that for a typical 10% tariff, about 4 percentage points are mitigated by currency adjustments, another 4 by foreign producers, leaving a mere 2 percentage points affecting U.S. businesses and consumers. During Trump’s first term, approximately 20% tariffs on Chinese goods resulted in an increase of less than 1% in consumer prices.

Nevertheless, analysts caution that broad reciprocal tariffs may impact a wider array of sectors than previous, narrower measures. The Congressional Budget Office projects that this year’s tariffs will increase inflation by about 0.4 percentage points in both 2025 and 2026, resulting in a one-time price level spike rather than sustained inflation.

Initial price data exhibit a mixed bag of effects. The June consumer price index indicated declines in vehicle prices and stability in television and smartphone costs, but noted increases in apparel and appliances.

ING economists reported “scattered evidence” of tariff effects on categories like fresh produce, toys, and household goods, although much of the impact has been offset by declining shelter costs, which constitute about 40% of the core consumer price index—an important measure of inflation.

Some argue that the larger narrative transcends short-term inflation, pointing instead to a long-term industrial realignment. Altomare described Trump’s tariff policies as “less of a tax and more of a down payment” on revitalizing U.S. manufacturing and restoring blue-collar job opportunities lost to previous trade agreements.

“If we keep viewing tariffs only through the lens of inflation, we’re merely playing checkers in a chess match,” he remarked.
