As reported by the US Treasury Department, in June alone, tariffs brought in 26.6 billion USD in revenue. According to the Bloomberg agency, revenues have increased almost fourfold compared to last year, when this amount was 6.3 billion USD. The Nikkei Asia article claims that Washington's revenues from tariff measures have reached such a scale that the White House may find it difficult to cancel or reduce tariff rates in the future, even under a new administration.

In the second quarter of 2025, tariffs totaled a record $64 billion, $47 billion more than in the same period a year earlier.
