In 2025, President Trump announced plans to implement a universal baseline tariff of 10 percent. Estimates show that a 10 percent universal tariff on imported goods would raise U.S. revenue by 2.95 trillion U.S. dollars, while a 20 percent tariff would raise revenue by 2.62 trillion U.S. dollars. Comparatively, imports before Trump's proposed taxes would increase revenue by 3.28 trillion U.S. dollars. By enacting tariffs on all imports, significantly less foreign-produced goods would be purchased, thus decreasing the overall amount of imported goods.

This dataset presents information on historical central government revenues for 31 countries in Europe and the Americas for the period from 1800 (or independence) to 2012. The countries included are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany (West Germany between 1949 and 1990), Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In other words, the dataset includes all South American, North American, and Western European countries with a population of more than one million, plus Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Mexico. The dataset contains information on the public finances of central governments. To make such information comparable cross-nationally the researchers chose to normalize nominal revenue figures in two ways: (i) as a share of the total budget, and (ii) as a share of total gross domestic product. The total tax revenue of the central state is disaggregated guided by the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which provides a classification of types of revenue, and describes in detail the contents of each classification category. Given the paucity of detailed historical data and the needs of our project, researchers combined some subcategories. First, they were interested in total tax revenue, as well as the shares of total revenue coming from direct and indirect taxes. Further, they measured two sub-categories of direct taxation, namely taxes on property and income. For indirect taxes, they separated excises, consumption, and customs.
As of April 9, 2025, the United States levied a revised baseline of 10 percent on all goods imported from countries of the Middle East and North Africa .Based on the initial tariff calculation of April 3, the rates of imported goods would have varied by country in the region, with Syria and Iraq at 41 and 39 percent, respectively. Tariffs and their effects he intertwined nature of global trade and supply chains implies that the shockwaves of significant policy changes and economic turbulences spread more easily across countries. This was illustrated in the effects of new United States tariffs on Arab countries, where projections show a 1.4 percent decrease in investments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Meanwhile, the impact of these tariffs on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) imports forecast a 28 percent decrease in imports from the United States to the Arab region. Middle East-United States trade relations The nature of trade relationships between the United States and the Middle East is often influenced by geopolitical and security realities, with Israel, UAE, and Saudi Arabia being the leading bilateral trading partners. A particularly strong trade relationship exists between the GCC countries and the United States, evident in the value of exports from the former to the latter. On the other hand, the value of exports from the broader Arab region to the United States fell considerably in the last decade, largely due to petroleum and oil revenue decrease.

According to estimates, President Trump's proposals to impose universal tariffs as well as tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports would considerably increase the average tariff rate. If Trump's proposals go into effect, it is estimated that the average tariff rate of all imports would almost triple, marking the highest rate in the United States since 1969.
