Latest fact check

Unable to retrieve definitive Treasury/MTS monthly breakdowns for the specific period Jan. 20–Dec. 31, 2025 within time constraints; DHS and CBP press releases state the $297 billion figure, but independent Treasury/MTS and CBO/CRFB reporting shows differing totals for customs duties alone (e.g., ~$195 billion in FY2025). Recommend rechecking the Treasury Monthly Treasury Statement (calendar receipts) and CBP's official accounting data for Jan 20–Dec 31, 2025 to reconcile differences. Follow-up required to access fiscal accounting tables and reconcile definitions (calendar vs fiscal year; customs duties vs total customs receipts including fees).
