The US Treasury has reported an unprecedented rise in customs duties, surpassing $100 billion for the first time in a fiscal year, significantly fueled by the recent implementation of tariff policies. In June alone, the government posted a surprising budget surplus of $27 billion, a remarkable turnaround attributed to a surge in tariff receipts. This improvement marks the first June surplus since 2017. Experts predict that if the current trend continues, the total tariff revenue could exceed $300 billion by year-end. Despite the substantial influx of funds from tariffs, the overall US deficit increased by $64 billion. The influx has sparked discussions about the impact of these protectionist policies on the economy and supply chains, with some analysts advocating for their continuation.
