Trump Proposes $2,000 Dividend Funded by Tariffs

CBS News

President Donald Trump on Sunday said he wants to give most Americans a $2,000 payment funded from tariffs as he defended what’s become one of his administration’s signature policies.

Mr. Trump touted his tariff policy as helping the U.S. raise new revenue, which he said has driven “record investment” in U.S. manufacturing.

“A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” Mr. Trump wrote Sunday in a Truth Social post. He didn’t provide additional details on how such rebates would be disbursed to Americans.
