- Trump said that the United States raises two billion dollars of daily tariff revenues, but the data show otherwise.
- Customs and US Border Protection, which has been raised, says $ 500 million of mutual definitions since April 5.
- The Treasury also reported much lower numbers than Trump’s claims.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that the United States is collecting huge sums of money in definitions, but the numbers do not increase.
“We provide a wealth with a customs tariff. $ 2 billion a day. Do you believe that? I was told two billion dollars a day,” Trump said in A. letter To the National Republic of Congress Committee on April 8. Categorize No. 2 billion dollars per day with executive order signed on the same day.
But the data of the American customs and border protection shows that the actual tariff revenues are just a small part of what Trump said.
A CBP Business Insider spokesman told the agency that the agency has so far raised $ 500 million from the broad Trump tour The definitions that entered on April 5.
In total, the agency said it had brought 21 billion dollars in tariff revenues by enforcing 15 presidential procedures since Trump took office almost three months ago. This is less than $ 250 million per day over 86 days since January 20.
Not only is the CBP data that does not match the Trump numbers.
The daily deposits of the Ministry of Treasury for “Customs and some tax taxes” I mentioned Throughout the seven days of the week since April 5, an average of $ 227 million a day. The total total from one month to another starting from Tuesday is about $ 2.3 billion, and its average year to another for the financial year that started in October is about 55.5 billion dollars.
On April 2, Trump announced the details of the long -time definition policy, which included a 10 % basic tariff for almost all countries and significantly high definitions on the countries that he considered “the worst perpetrators” of the trade deficit.
After the market collapsed and his repeated call to find a tour of his comprehensive policy, Trump announced last week that he would temporarily stop most of the definitions, with the exception of China, for a period of 90 days while his administration is working on trade deals with dozens of countries.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for suspension from Business Insider.
