Tariffs bring in record $27.7 billion in July as Trump calls haul 'incredible for our country'
President Trump's tariffs poured billions into US coffers in July as he continued to reshape the US trade landscape, putting the revenue supplied by importers at another monthly record. New data from the Treasury Department released Tuesday afternoon confirmed that June marked another record month on the revenue front, with some $27.7 billion in customs duties coming into US coffers. This was another step up from June's total of $26.6 billion and May's total of $22.2 billion. It represents a significant jump from around $8 billion in customs duties one year ago and brings the total for the fiscal year to around $135.7 billion. The government's fiscal year ends Sept. 30. Read more: The latest news and updates on Trump's tariffs The latest data is a continuation of the revenue spikes seen during Trump's second term in office, which are dwarfing counts from recent history, as well as the amounts collected during Trump's first term. Trump has frequently touted the new revenue source, writing in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday that it "has been incredible for our Country, its Stock Market, its General Wealth, and just about everything else." In that same post, Trump also attacked Goldman Sachs (GS) over its research and forecasts on tariffs and claimed tariff-related revenues were actually in the "trillions." The data also confirmed, however, that tariffs still don't make up a major piece of US government receipts, even in months like July, which the Treasury Department noted is generally softer on revenue "since there are usually no major corporate or individual tax due dates in this month." This latest Treasury monthly statement showed that total government receipts for the month topped $338 billion, meaning tariff-related revenues accounted for less than 10% of the total. Tariff revenue also hasn't helped make a dent in the overall US budget deficit, which grew around $291 billion last month. The gap for the 10 months through July came in around $1.63 trillion. And then there's the question of who ultimately pays the tariffs that supply that revenue to the US government. Contrary to Trump's claims, economists agree that the countries on which Trump has slapped tariffs do not ultimately foot the bill. Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet In research this week, Goldman Sachs estimated that as of June, US businesses have borne the brunt of tariff price hikes — 64%, according to economists led by Jan Hatzius. Consumers' share of tariff hikes was only 22% through that time period. That mix could soon flip, the analysts noted. By October, US businesses could largely pass on those costs to consumers. Goldman Sachs estimates that consumers could foot around 67% of tariff costs by October, compared to just 8% for US businesses. Foreign exporters' share would sit around 25%, Goldman Sachs said. Still, tariff revenue numbers are likely to continue climbing in the coming months as Trump's tariffs take full effect. Measures that went into effect last week raised tariff rates on goods from dozens of partners, including the European Union, Japan, and South Korea. Another significant trade partner, India, is facing levies of 50% in the coming weeks. The latest complete tally, according to recent calculations from the Yale Budget Lab, shows that the US overall average effective tariff rate will jump to 18.6%, the highest level since 1933.

RealPage Unveils Next-Generation AI Workforce at RealWorld 2025
LAS VEGAS & RICHARDSON, Texas, August 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RealPage™, the leading global provider of AI-enabled software platforms to the real estate industry, this week unveiled the Lumina AI Workforce at RealWorld 2025, the premier event for multifamily innovation and leadership. With nearly 1,500 industry professionals in attendance, RealPage introduced a future shaped by agentic AI, where intelligent automation and human collaboration work together to elevate resident experiences, improve operational efficiency, and drive scalable growth across the multifamily industry. At the center of that vision is the Lumina AI Workforce, the multifamily industry's first agentic AI platform. Introduced in June 2025, the Lumina AI Workforce marks a decisive shift away from fragmented tools and task-based automation toward an orchestrated network of intelligent agents that act, learn, and collaborate across multifamily domains. These AI agents operate in sync with human teams, handling repetitive tasks, coordinating workflows, and surfacing actionable insights, so property staff can stay focused on strategic, high-impact work. "AI's real promise lies in how it reshapes the human experience of work," said Dana Jones, RealPage CEO and President. "It's about removing daily barriers, reducing burnout, and giving teams the bandwidth to show up with energy and purpose to focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional experiences for their residents." Meet the Lumina AI Workforce: Five Specialized Agents, One Coordinated Force On the RealWorld mainstage, RealPage introduced the first five Lumina AI Agents, each specialized in a core multifamily domain, yet built to collaborate seamlessly and drive results together: AI Leasing Agent: Connects with prospects, answers their questions, and helps guide them from first contact to signed lease. AI Resident Agent: Keeps residents informed, engaged, and supported - helping boost satisfaction and retention. AI Operations Agent: Handles the day-to-day details of running a property, like move-ins, renewals, audits, and reporting. AI Facilities Agent: Quickly responds to maintenance needs, schedules inspections, and keeps repairs on track with staff and vendors. AI Finance Agent: Takes care of routine finance tasks like coding invoices, catching errors, reconciling accounts, and sending reports. Attendees experienced these agents firsthand through immersive demos and hands-on product sessions in the RealExpo Innovation Hall. Because they're built directly into familiar platforms like OneSite, Knock, and LOFT, the agents feel intuitive from the start – yet deliver outsized impact by working together, sharing intelligence, and driving performance across the operation. RealPage and OpenAI Share a Vision for Responsible AI in Multifamily RealWorld 2025 also featured a forward-looking discussion between RealPage and OpenAI, moderated by Emmy-winning journalist David Pogue. The conversation explored how agentic AI is shaping the future of multifamily housing, with a focus on affordability, accessibility, and responsible implementation. Together, RealPage and OpenAI emphasized their shared commitment to building AI that is secure, compliant, and grounded in trust. "AI can only deliver real value when it's built on a foundation of trust," said Lance French, RealPage Chief Information Officer. "That's why we've embedded security, governance, and compliance into every layer of the Lumina AI Data Platform. From day one, we designed it to meet the highest standards for data protection and operational integrity, because our customers deserve AI that's not only powerful, but also accountable." A Platform Built for What's Next The Lumina AI Workforce is powered by the Lumina AI Data Platform, RealPage's multi-year investment in secure, scalable, and deeply integrated AI infrastructure. This foundation ensures AI is not a bolt-on, but a core capability embedded across the RealPage ecosystem. From keynote insights to live product experiences, RealWorld 2025 made it clear that AI is redefining what's possible, and that RealPage is leading the industry to embrace what's next.
