Recondes from US tariffs reached a record level in April when the income from President Donald Trump's trade war began.
Customs tasks amounted to $ 16.3 billion for the month, around 86% of the 8.75 billion US dollars collected in March and more than twice as high as 7.1 billion US dollars a year ago, the financial department reported on Monday.
This brought the total amount for the tasks up to $ 63.3 billion and more than 18% ago the same period 2024.
While the United States is still performing a massive budget deficit, the influx in tariffs has contributed to shaving part of the imbalance for April, a month in which the finance ministry generally operates a surplus, since the income tax registration takes up in the middle of the month.
The surplus was 258.4 billion US dollars for the month, which rose to an increase of 23% compared to the same period in the previous year. This reduced the financial year from year to year to $ 1.05 trillion, which is still 13% higher than a year ago.
The income in April also rose by 10% annually in April in April, while expenses decreased by 4%. To date, the income has increased by 5%, while expenses have increased by 9%.
High interest rates still make up a budget load. The net interest rates for the public debt of 36.2 trillion dollars amounted to $ 89 billion in April, higher than in any other category with the exception of social security. For the financial year, net interest rates have been 579 billion US dollars and also the second most common.
