Trump Claims $600 Billion in Tariff Revenue as Supreme Court Decision Nears

Official tallies place tariff collections far below the $600 billion claim.

Overview

  • In a Truth Social post, President Trump said the U.S. has taken in or will soon receive more than $600 billion from tariffs and accused the media of trying to influence the pending Supreme Court decision.
  • Treasury data show $195 billion in tariff revenue through September 2025, and independent analyses report totals well short of Trump’s figure.
  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently reported collecting more than $200 billion tied to new duties imposed since early 2025.
  • The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on whether Trump had authority to impose the sweeping tariffs, after lower courts held he exceeded his powers and companies such as Costco sued for refunds and injunctions.
  • Trump has set high duties on many partners, including a 50% rate on Indian goods with 25% linked to Russian oil purchases, and has warned of further increases.
