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. However, this falls short of covering the revenue lost due to a Supreme Court ruling against previous tariffs, creating a shortfall of approximately $825 billion compared to baseline projections. The CRFB warns that these new tariffs, while substantial, will not fully offset the previous revenue losses and additional measures would be needed to meet budgetary goals. AI

    Trump’s new $950 billion tariff scheme still leaves a 40% shortfall in his plan to rebalance the $39 trillion national debt, CRFB says

    "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.
