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.

What happens when you threaten tariffs on countries? They start to back down.

Trump telling the world what happens next.

What happens when you threaten tariffs on countries? They start to back down.

Under Trump’s previous order, a 25% tariff was applied to all Mexican and Canadian goods that aren’t compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Israel: On Tuesday, Israel announced the cancellation of all remaining tariffs on imports from the United States. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that this move is intended to strengthen economic ties with the U.S. and lower living costs in Israel.

Vietnam: Vietnam has outlined plans to reduce tariffs on several U.S. products, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), automobiles, and ethanol. The tariff on American LNG will decrease from 5% to 2%, on cars from a range of 45%-64% to 32%, and on ethanol from 10% to 5%. These measures aim to lower Vietnam’s trade surplus with the U.S. and avoid potential U.S. tariffs. Below is what happened yesterday afternoon.

India: India is considering cutting tariffs on over half of U.S. imports, valued at $23 billion, to protect its $66 billion in exports from impending U.S. reciprocal tariffs. Negotiations are underway, with India indicating a willingness to significantly lower or entirely remove tariffs on many U.S. goods, contingent on the U.S. providing relief from the reciprocal tariffs.

Switzerland: Swiss Economic Affairs Minister Guy Parmelin emphasized that Switzerland has eliminated industrial tariffs, allowing almost 99% of U.S. goods to enter the country duty-free. This move is part of Switzerland’s efforts to avoid tariffs imposed by the U.S. under the new policy.

Why Tariffs or the threat of, work.

Spend 60 billion in the USA.

Why Tariffs or the threat of, work.

So far President Trump has paused Tariffs on the auto industry until April 2nd. He recently spoke with the big three. And it looks as if he’s getting results.

GM and Stellantis both have made commitments to spend more on US plants. GM said their investments can be as high as 60 billion. No word yet from Ford.

Honda who’s not part of the big three has stated that a new plant is going to be built here. All this because of a threat. Winning.

After last night, who wouldn’t be proud to have Trump as their President?

President Trump hits a home run.

After last night, who wouldn’t be proud to have Trump as their President?

Last night the whole world heard our President and what he would do to fix all the issues that the past administration created. Yes their were disruptions from the losers on the left, and yes our President took note and called out the disrupters.

Below are a few highlights from last night. If you missed last night, you missed the master at work.

Some of the appalling waste we have already identified.”

-$22 billion for housing & cars for illegal aliens
-$45 million for DEI scholarships in Burma
-$40 million for inclusion of sedentary migrants
-$8 million to promote LGBTQ+ in Lesotho
-$60 million for Afro-Colombian empowerment
-$8 million for making mice transgender
-$32 million for left-wing propaganda in Moldova
-$10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique
-$20 million for Arab Sesame Street
-$1.9 billion for Stacey Abrams & decarbonization
-$3.5 million for lavish fish monitoring
-$1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia

“We have ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me.”

“How did that work out?”

You got the Tariffs, Don’t do what you did the last time. Steel and Aluminum.

You got the Tariffs, Don’t do what you did the last time. Steel and Aluminum.

The last time President Trump placed the Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum, the American companies raised their prices. This was wrong and let us hope that someone in government keeps an eye on this.

Canada, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Vietnam are the biggest sellers of steel into the U.S., according to American Iron and Steel Institute data, while Canada is the dominant supplier of imported aluminum.
