U.S. Collected 600B in Tariffs Including Billions from Israeli Imports

 

President Trump announced the U.S. has collected over *600 billion* in tariffs, calling it a major boost to America’s economy and national security.

Among those affected is Israel, which has faced a 15% tariff on roughly 60% of its exports to the U.S.* since August 2025. 

The policy has added billions in costs to Israeli goods, straining trade ties between the close allies as efforts continue to negotiate relief.
