How can this be? U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is already collecting over $200 million per day in extra revenue as it enforces a massive new wave of tariffs under President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” plan.
We have more from FOX Business.
“CBP has successfully implemented 13 tariff-related presidential actions during this Administration,” a CBP spokesperson said in a statement to FOX Business. “Serving on America’s frontline, CBP strictly enforces all laws and Presidential directives to secure our economic sovereignty.”
The agency has already pulled in billions from earlier Trump executive orders.
That includes $4.8 billion under EO 14195, which targets synthetic opioids from China; $861 million under EO 14193, aimed at stopping drug flows from Canada; over $2 billion under EO 14194, addressing trade issues at the southern border; and $1 billion collected under Section 232 duties on steel and aluminum.
