The $26 billion surplus in June 2025 marks the first June surplus since 2015, driven by a 301% surge in tariff revenue, contradicting decades of deficit trends and challenging economists’ skepticism about tariffs as a revenue tool, with data from the Treasury Department showing customs duties quadrupling to $27.2 billion.

Recent studies, including a 2023 National Bureau of Economic Research paper, suggest tariffs can boost domestic revenue when strategically applied, aligning with the current 5% share of federal income from tariffs—up from 2% historically—though critics argue this may shift costs to consumers, as seen in a 0.9% retail sales drop reported by the U.S. Census Bureau in May 2025.

The surplus coincides with Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R.1), which cut $175 billion in bureaucratic waste and increased defense spending by 6%, per Congressional Budget Office estimates, offering a rare case study in how policy shifts can reverse entrenched fiscal patterns amid global trade tensions.
