Trump White House says it's losing $19B-$26 billion a year in revenue as countries dodge tariffs

On Thursday, the Trump White House released a new report revealing that the United States is losing between $19 billion and $26 billion annually in tax revenue. According to the administration, these financial losses stem from countries intentionally routing their exports through third-party nations to bypass U.S. tariffs.

The findings highlight a significant structural loophole in current trade enforcement, demonstrating how international exporters successfully circumvent tariff policies. The administration's documentation of these economic impacts sheds light on the challenges and unintended workarounds associated with maintaining broad import duties.
