The United States has collected more than $35 billion in tariffs that President Donald Trump has imposed on imports from China, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Trump began imposing tariffs on China in July 2018, gradually escalating the amount to $550 billion worth of annual imports.
