Revenue from Trump tariffs spiked by billions in April: Treasury Department

The Trump administration increased federal revenues by billions due to tariffs, according to the Treasury Department.

From April 1-28, the Treasury Department reported $16.5 billion in tariff collections, compared to $9.6 billion in March, according to the agency’s official data. While between $190 and $250 million typically trickled in from tariffs each day, Treasury Department records show that the majority of the $16.5 billion reported in April, $11.6 billion, was processed on one day alone — April 22.
