Trump's new tariffs to generate $950B but fall short of debt plan goals

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) has analyzed former President Trump's new tariff plan, estimating it will generate $950 billion by 2036.

    "We currently estimate that the tariffs enacted and proposed under this administration since January 2025 will generate about $825 billion less revenue through FY 2036 than estimated," the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says.
