Incoming President Donald Trump said he will establish an External Revenue Service to collect tariffs, duties and all revenue that comes from foreign sources. Taxing foreign countries for their trade with the U.S. is a major shift from the last century when the U.S. focused on taxing its own citizens via the Internal Revenue Service.
Trump made the announcement on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday.
This shift echoes the America First candidate’s promise to put the citizens of his own country before those of foreign lands, a novel idea. This is particularly notable due to the IRS being known for its heavy handed approach against the American people.
In December Alex Jones spoke with economist Kirk Elliott about these economic policies.
Trump perused a similar policy, albeit at a smaller scale, during his first term in office.
