The Trump Administration says it can now assign a dollar value to the President’s tariff plan.
During President Trump’s cabinet meeting yesterday afternoon, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the panel that the U.S. has pulled in $100 billion since the tariff rollout. By the end of the year, he estimates tariffs will net the U.S. $300 billion. He says that in ten years, the Congressional Budget Office shows $2.8 trillion collected as a result of the tariff plan.
Bessent told the Cabinet that he believes the 10-year payout will be much higher. This week, President Trump gave an August 1st deadline for blanket tariffs.
