US President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday that the total revenue to the US budget from the trade duties he imposed amounted to about 650 billion dollars.
"We got rich thanks to tariffs. By the way, I hope everyone understands this. They (the American press) do not like to report that more than 650 billion dollars have been attracted to our country, which will soon be included in the budget," he said, speaking to Republican congressmen in Washington.
Trump's statement came amid an expected decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on the legality of the import duties imposed by the head of state, against which the politician actively emphasizes their role in the country's economic growth. ria.ru.
