The effects of President Trump's trade policy are becoming clear on the ground, as the United States recorded a massive leap in tariff and selective tax revenues in April 📈. Revenues surpassed $17 billion 💰, which is almost double what was collected in March, which was only $9.6 billion.
This sudden rise is not just a fleeting fluctuation, but a qualitative shift compared to what was witnessed during his first term. Since the beginning of the year, more than $70 billion has entered the state treasury through these tariffs, making them an effective financial tool — albeit controversial ⚖️.
On the "Truth Social" platform, Trump did not hide his enthusiasm as he stated:
"Billions are flowing from tariffs... and we are just getting started!!!" 🚀🇺🇸
And it may not be far from reality, as it is expected that the April figures are just the beginning, especially after the additional 10% tariffs went into effect starting April 5 ⏳, with announced intentions to increase tariffs in the coming months 🔥.
The new tariff policies are sparking much debate, with some seeing them as a means to protect the local economy 🏭, while others warn of their impact on prices and global supply chains 🌍. In any case, this trade shift seems unlikely to go unnoticed — rather, it marks the beginning of a new economic chapter on the American stage ✍️.
