We've been discussing, of course, the Supreme Court's ruling against those IEPA tariffs has thrown into question what that is going to mean for some of the tariff revenue that the U.S.
government has already collected.
As you can see there, IEPA really accounts for the majority of the trade remedy revenue that the U.S.
is raking in.
That's estimated to be at about $260 billion.
So let's discuss with Nobel laureate in economics, Paul Krugman.
He is research professor of economics
at the City University of New York's Graduate Center.
Paul, it's great to have you with us.
So let's talk about that, because as we know, when it comes to the tariff revenue, that was an important pillar of the economic agenda of this administration.
If you take out the lion's share of that revenue in the form of these IEPA tariffs, where does that leave that agenda?
Well, I don't actually think the revenue was a key part of the agenda.
I think it was part of the case that the Trump administration made for the tariffs, but I don't think it was really their motivation.
That said, okay, we're looking, I believe now, at losing revenue that's around a
you know, 0.6% of GDP, which is something like a tenth of the budget deficit.
So the budget deficit gets about 10% bigger as a result of this ruling, unless, you know, in many ways, the other stuff that Trump was saying he's going to do is not, from his point of view, a good substitute for AIPA.
