Treasury Secretary: Set to Gain Trillions in Tariffs

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has gone on gone on Fox News to explain that tariffs are the new economic move for this country.

On “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Bessent explained how tariffs might just be the game-changer.

We’ve been seeing that President Trump’s economic playbook filled with this move.

And for good reason!

It’s high time we started getting paid rather than bleeding funds to every country in the world while getting robbed in trade.

Bessent is confident that currency adjustments will take the sting out of pricing.

And exporters—especially in China—will be left footing the bill.

Oh, isn’t that a shame?

Daily Caller reports:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent detailed Tuesday on Fox News the economic strategies of President Donald Trump, breaking down what he said are the potential fiscal benefits and minimal consumer impacts of implementing global tariffs.

During an appearance on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Bessent said that leveraging tariffs could fundamentally alter the economic landscape without burdening consumers.

“I think that very little of that would be passed on to the consumer, that I think the currency adjusts. I think that, especially China, that the companies on the other side, the exporters, are going to eat a lot of the cost,” Bessent said.

Bessent outlined three primary ways that he said tariffs have been employed.

“Well, I’ve talked about [how] President Trump uses tariffs unlike any president in modern times. And we think about it three ways. One can be revenues for the government. Two can be to make trade fair because a lot of our trading partners do not treat us fairly. And three, President Trump uses them for negotiating, as he did with Colombia, as you’re seeing with Mexico, with Canada, with the fentanyl crisis that we’re having,” Bessent said.

“So there is a chance that the tariffs could bring in a substantial amount of revenue for the government. So, for instance, a 10 percent global tariff would bring in $2.5 trillion over 10 years.”

The money will be reversed.

Before it all flowed to everyone but us.

Soon it will be pouring in.
