Trump Tariff Revenue Hits $30B Record, Highest Ever in US History
August 2025 saw the U.S. Treasury collect a historic $30 billion in tariff revenue under policies initiated during the TRUMP administration. The figure marks the highest single-month haul on record, surpassing previous benchmarks by a wide margin.
Despite the tariff windfall, fiscal pressures persist. Government spending continues to outpace revenue growth, exacerbating the federal deficit. The divergence highlights structural challenges in balancing trade policy with broader economic stability.
