The plan would replace expiring temporary levies and could raise about $97 billion a year, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
- President Donald Trump is enacting new tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners that account for roughly 99% of U.S. imports.

- Further import duties may be coming as the U.S. Trade Representative completes a separate probe into 16 countries over industrial overproduction.
