Trump's tariffs generated significant revenue for the government in June

The U.S. recorded a $27 billion budget surplus in June, driven by a $187 billion reduction in spending and $26.6 billion in tariff revenues, more than four times the June 2024 amount. Tariff revenue has surged since President Trump's tariffs began taking hold. The federal government's total debt is around $36 trillion, with $84 billion paid in interest in June.
