The US Customs Authority has announced that it has collected $500 million in tariffs since April 15, contradicting Donald Trump's estimates that the daily amount would reach $2 billion

CBP confirmed that since April 5, it has collected more than $500 million in trade tariffs, contributing to a total of $21 billion from presidential trade actions. Although Trump has claimed that the US collects $2 billion a day, recent data shows an average of $305 million a day. In addition, a technical glitch temporarily disrupted the tax system, but collections have continued.
