The reciprocal tariffs implemented by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, could reduce the country's fiscal deficit by about 4 trillion dollars over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) this Friday.
According to the agency, which serves as an independent analyst for Congress, the increase in tariff revenues would reduce primary deficits by approximately 2.5 trillion dollars and decrease federal debt interest payments by another 700 billion.
The current projection represents an upward adjustment compared to June, when the CBO had estimated a cut of USD 2.5 trillion in primary deficits and USD 500 billion in financial costs.
This increase in revenue could help offset the impact of the tax cut package, the largest in the country's history, approved by Republicans at the beginning of the year.
