President Donald Trump said the $2,000 tariff “dividend” he promised will be distributed next year—though the feasibility of the proposal is uncertain as Trump needs the support of Congress and it’s unclear what form the payments would be distributed in.
Trump told reporters Friday aboard Air Force One the $2,000 payments would come “sometime next year, during the year,” adding, “we’ve taken in a lot of money from tariffs. The tariffs allow us to give a dividend.”
Trump has repeatedly floated the idea, writing on Truth Social earlier this month, “a dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” claiming the U.S. is able to make the payments because of his various economic achievements.
