U.S. customs duty collections topped $100 billion for the first time in history as President Trump’s tariffs generated massive revenue for the country.
New budget data shows that tariff revenues as a share of federal revenue have more than doubled, and tariffs have created a surplus as opposed to a $71 billion deficit in June 2024 under Biden.
The Gateway Pundit recently reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday that the U.S. is on track to bring in over $100 billion in tariff revenue so far this year and potentially “well over” $300 billion by the end of the year.

During a meeting with African leaders on Wednesday, President Trump told OANN correspondent Daniel Baldwin, “we’re taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, money that we’ve never seen before.”
