The U.S. Treasury Department's monthly statement for November showed customs duties collected amounted to 30.76 billion dollars, compared to about 31.35 billion dollars in October.
The revenue decrease followed Trump's decision not to add any new customs duties during the last month.

The total trade deficit declined by 10.9% in September to 52.8 billion dollars, the lowest level since mid-2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This coincided with a 3% increase in exports to 289.3 billion dollars, while imports rose slightly by 0.6%, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
