Trump’s Tariff Claims Clash with Customs Revenue Data

Discrepancies emerge between President Donald Trump’s claims about daily tariff revenue and actual figures reported by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A recent glitch in the financial system delayed import processing, potentially impacting revenue collection. CBP data reveals $500 million in revenue collected since April 5th under the new tariffs, totaling over $21 billion in total tariff revenue from 15 presidential trade actions implemented since January 20, 2025.
