The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has confirmed that President Trump's tariff program, recently struck down by the Supreme Court, will cause the US budget deficit to swell to $2.1 trillion for 2026. This represents an increase from previous projections, primarily due to a significant drop in tariff and customs-duty collections, estimated at $250 billion below earlier forecasts. While stronger income and payroll tax collections have partially offset this revenue loss, the overall deficit is exacerbated by substantial refunds of previously collected tariffs. AI
