President Donald Trump promised over the weekend that U.S. citizens would see tangible benefits from his sweeping tariffs.
“A dividend of at least $2000 a person” from the tariffs will be paid to “everyone” except for those described as “high-income” people, according to the president.

After making the announcement in the Truth Social post on Sunday, the president reiterated that there would be a “dividend” during comments in the Oval Office on Monday.
“We’re going to issue a dividend to our middle-income people and lower-income people of about $2,000, and we’re going to use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt, we’re going to be lowering our debt, which is a national security thing,” Trump said.
