U.S. tariff revenue hits $30 billion in July, up 261% since Trump took office

The U.S. government brought in $30 billion from tariffs in July, a new monthly record that pushes total tariff collections for 2025 past $152 billion.

That’s a 261% increase from March’s $8.2 billion, when President Donald Trump’s latest round of global trade duties began kicking in, according to Treasury Department data .

This revenue spike comes right before a fresh batch of tariff rate changes goes live on Thursday, August 7. They were originally scheduled to begin on August 1, but Trump’s team delayed them by a week to give the U.S. Customs and Border Protection more time to handle logistics. Since April, the monthly flow of tariff revenue has risen fast: $17.4 billion in April, $23.9 billion in May, then $28 billion in June, and now the biggest number yet.
