Tariffs Pump Cash, Reshoring Pitch Splits Opinion

The U.S. just started collecting another big haul now that the August 1 tariff hikes landed. Even countries that cut new deals with Washington didn't get a passJapan and the EU are still paying 15%. Markets dipped, but stocks barely blinked; they're still close to record highs. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Importers are the ones writing the checks, and they're coping however they can: passing costs to customers, trimming margins, finding other suppliers, or cutting their own costs. The bottom line is simplethose tariffs are stuffing the Treasury. The White House isn't pretending this is only about money. Trump's pitch is that the pain will pull manufacturing back to U.S. soil, that higher import costs will nudge companies to build here again. That's a big assumption, and people are split. The cash is already showing up: June brought a rare $27 billion surplus, largely thanks to customs duties. Still, the bigger picture is soberingthe U.S. is running a $1.34 trillion deficit year to date, so unless spending gets reined in, the tariff windfall only goes so far. Tariffs are buying time and filling coffers, but whether this becomes a real reshoring story or just temporary noise depends on follow-through and whether Washington pairs revenue with discipline. Watch if the money keeps coming and if spending gets tightened. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
