Then came one of the biggest financial updates of the meeting...from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. What he revealed was staggering. Bessent said that America is now pulling in RECORD tariff revenues...between $500 BILLION and $1 TRILLION a year...and the budget deficit is already down 26% from Biden’s last year in office. These are not small numbers. Bessent explained how Trump flipped the system on its head. The days of unbalanced international trade are over, and with that comes a massive influx of cash directly affecting America’s deficit. “On the international front you have a leveled the international trading system whereby countries took advantage of us and that’s over. It’s OVER.” “The Treasury Department is in is taking in record tariff revenues that I had been saying was running at a rate of 300 billion a year.” “You chastised me for saying that—number is too low. And as usual, you we’re right, that we had a substantial, jump from July to August, and I think we’re going to see a bigger jump from August to September.” “So I think we could be on our way, well, over half a trillion, maybe the, towards the trillion dollar number.” “This administration, your administration, has made a meaningful dent in the budget deficit.” Even the CBO, which often clashes with the Trump administration, had to concede: the deficit is projected to drop by $4 trillion over the next decade. “The average budget deficit during this term is 26% less than the last 12 months under Biden and even the CBO, and we don’t agree with CBO on everything as you said, last Friday—had to admit that they believe over the next ten years the budget deficit will be 4 trillion lower than they had previously scored.” And according to Bessent, that number could go even higher. “4 trillion: 3.3 trillion of tariff income, 700 billion of lower interest cost, and, you know, I would expect that that number could go up from here.”

Bessent: Don’t Need Trade Deal with China, We Make Revenues Off Tariffs, ‘It’s Not Broke’ | Ian Hanchett, Breitbart News On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to a question on whether or not a trade deal with China is needed by stating that “China is, right now, the biggest revenue line in the tariff income” and remarking, “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” But Bessent also said there have been “very good talks with China” and he thinks there will be further discussions with them. Host Laura Ingraham asked, [relevant exchange begins around 8:30] “When do you expect that we will see movement on the China talks, and do we need a trade agreement with China, given how well the tariffs are working out?” Bessent answered, “Look, we’re very happy is — we had 20% — about 20, 25% tariffs in President Trump’s first term. We’ve added 20% fentanyl tariffs, 10% baseline tariffs. So, we’re at 50 or 55%. China is, right now, the biggest revenue line in the tariff income. So, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. We have had very good talks with China. I imagine we’ll be seeing them again before November. They have a 10% tariff on us. They have started shipping the rare earth magnets, which we agreed to. We had put some countermeasures on them that we’ve taken off. So, I think, right now, the status quo’s working pretty well.”
