The department of External Revenue Service is a future planned US government department. It is intended to collect tariffs, duties, and other revenue from foreign sources. According to Trump, the External Revenue Service will address the issue of the American economy delivering growth and prosperity to the world while being taxed domestically. He stated that the new department will start charging foreign entities that profit from trade with the U.S., ensuring they pay their fair share.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently responsible for administering and enforcing the internal revenue laws within the U.S., and there is no existing External Revenue Service within the U.S. government. The term “External Revenue Service” as used by Trump appears to be a newly proposed entity and not a pre-existing government department.

The External Revenue Service, as described by Trump, would be distinct from the IRS and would focus on collecting revenue from foreign sources rather than domestic ones.
