New tariffs to reduce U.S. economic output, lower budget deficits: CBO Investing.com -- The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a non-partisan agency, stated on Wednesday that the new tariffs on foreign goods, implemented by President Donald Trump as of May 13, will cause a decrease in U.S. economic output. However, these tariffs are also projected to reduce federal budget deficits by $2.8 trillion over the next ten years. In a letter addressed to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and other senior Democrats, the CBO indicated that the tariffs, which have been subject to legal challenges, will increase the prices of consumer and capital goods. The agency stated, "CBO estimates that, on net, real (inflation-adjusted) economic output in the United States will fall as a result." The letter, also addressed to Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, noted that inflation is expected to rise by an annual average of 0.4 percentage points in 2025 and 2026. This increase in inflation will diminish the purchasing power of households and businesses, according to the CBO’s estimation. Wyden is the leading Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, and Merkley holds the top Democratic position on the Senate Budget Committee. The trio had requested the CBO to analyze the impact of the tariffs that the Trump administration implemented between January 6 and May 13 through executive actions. The inflation estimates provided by the CBO were compared to an economic outlook that the agency published on January 17. The analysis was concluded before two court rulings determined that the tariffs exceeded the president’s authority to impose them. The administration has since appealed to a higher court to halt one of the rulings. This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor. For more information see our T&C.

US Congress budget office sees economic output falling from Trump tariffs WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. economic output will fall as a result of President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on foreign goods that were in place as of May 13, while also reducing federal budget deficits by $2.8 trillion over a decade, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said on Wednesday. In a letter to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and two other high-ranking Democrats, the CBO said the tariffs, which have been challenged in court cases, will raise the costs of consumer and capital goods. "CBO estimates that, on net, real (inflation-adjusted) economic output in the United States will fall as a result," the agency said. "Inflation will increase by an annual average of 0.4 percentage points in 2025 and 2026, in CBO’s estimation, reducing the purchasing power of households and businesses," the letter to Schumer and Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley stated. Wyden is the senior Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee and Merkley is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee. The three senators requested the CBO analysis on the impact of the Trump administration’s tariffs implemented between Jan. 6 and May 13 through executive actions. The analysis was completed before two courts ruled that the tariffs exceeded the president’s authority to impose them. The administration has asked an appeals court to pause one of the rulings.
