TL;DR

US tariff revenue hit a record $28 billion in July, but the overall budget deficit widened to $291 billion, reflecting ongoing fiscal challenges. Tariff income for the year is projected to reach $300 billion, potentially exceeding expectations, yet the deficit continues to grow due to increased interest costs and social spending, with the fiscal year ending with a significant shortfall.
