šØ Trumpās Tariff Claims vs. CBP Reality ā Hereās the Hard Truth
Despite former President Trumpās bold claims on tariff revenues, the numbers just don't add up. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has officially put the brakes on his narrative.
Hereās what you need to know about the actual impact of the 2025 tariff actions:
š Trump claimed daily revenue from tariffs was significantly higher than reality.
š° CBP reports just $500 million collected since April 5, under the new "reciprocal tariffs."
š This figure contributes to a total of $21 billion from 15 tariff-related actions since January 20, 2025.
š§¾ The math exposes a huge gap between projected and actual returns, casting doubt on the economic impact Trump projected.
šØš³ These new tariffs mainly target Chinese imports, reigniting tensions and impacting global trade flows.
š U.S. industries relying on imports may bear the brunt, squeezing margins and risking higher consumer prices.
