CBO: Trump’s Tariffs Could Slash Deficit by $4 Trillion

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on foreign imports could slash the federal deficit by as much as $4 trillion over the next decade, according to a new estimate from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
The report, released Friday, said Trump’s global tariff hikes would generate enough additional revenue to reduce primary deficits by $3.3 trillion and cut federal interest payments by $700 billion.
That projected $4 trillion in savings would come even as negotiations with trading partners and international legal challenges continue over the new duties.
The CBO projection also highlighted that the added revenue from Trump’s tariffs would help counterbalance the effects of the Republicans’ tax-cut and spending bill passed earlier this year.

While raising the cost to consumers over that time by $3.3 trillion
The interest payments would be the net gain. $700B over 10 years, or $70B/year.
Napkin math. But you get the gist

He presumes 100% of the tariffs will be passed on to consumers.
Which has not happened yet.

it's not a 1 for one increase. the cost of most items imported is going up bit not the full % of the tariff. companies are still trying to keep market share while they are trying to figure out moving more production domestically to avoid the tariffs.
long term, tariff revenue will go down just for that reason, more companies with have domestic production to bypass tariffs, which is the main intent of installing tariffs......

You pulled a number out of your arse without a shred of support.

I refuse to believe you believe 100% of the tarrif revenue will come from American consumers. Nice try, but I know you know better.
