Fact check: are US tariffs really bringing in $2bn a day as Trump claims?
US president may have used some hypothetical maths but chances are slim that such sums are being raised
He is claiming to be raising 2billion a day. Bear in mind that tariffed goods are still on ships bound from China and have paid sero taxes its difficult to see how this is possible.
No doubt someone can explain what he really meant because they are 2bn short in the coffers every day.
I was interested in this because trump was going to do all sorts of marvwllous things with this money.
Not least free IVF for childless people.
It doesnt look like that is happening soon. Or ever if the poor fundraising abilities of his tariffs are anything to go by.
