New Trump tariffs expected to generate lower revenue than previous tariffs

What happened

The White House has implemented new tariffs that are projected to generate about $105 billion annually, which is approximately 60% of the revenue lost from the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down previous emergency tariffs. The latest tariff measures are expected to raise around $950 billion by 2036, significantly lower than the $1.7 trillion anticipated from the earlier tariff regime.
