His &ldquo;Liberation Day&rdquo; tariff announcement in April rocked the global economy, setting off panic across the world. While the situation has since stabilized and recovered, tariffs as a whole still often have a negative perception from much of the public.<\/p>\n<p>A visible check for the public, likely to be signed by Trump himself, could help improve public perception of his trade policies.<\/p>\n<p>According to Department of the Treasury data, the U.S. collected over $100 billion in tariff revenue in the first half of 2025. In July alone, the agency calculates it will collect over $27 billion.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/economy\/3479222\/trump-trade-deal-japan-15-percent-reciprocal-tariffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"TRUMP ANNOUNCES TRADE DEAL WITH JAPAN WORTH $550B, IMPLEMENTING 15% RECIPROCAL TARIFFS\">TRUMP ANNOUNCES TRADE DEAL WITH JAPAN WORTH $550B, IMPLEMENTING 15% RECIPROCAL TARIFFS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump broke with economic orthodoxy in the U.S. in his championing of tariffs, over the opposition of many economists.
