Trump vows revenue from tariffs will reach 'extremely strong levels' in about a month US President Donald Trump predicted a sharp increase in tariff revenue in a month, telling reporters at Joint Base Andrews that duties on imports will soon reach what he called "extremely strong levels." Trump said the U.S. collected $25 billion in revenue last month, crediting both his administration’s management and rising tariffs on goods such as cars, aluminum, steel, and lumber. "We have tariffs pouring in at levels that we have never seen before and they've only just started. That's really a small portion," said Trump.
