Trump Claims $2,000 Tariff ‘Dividend’ Will Be Paid

“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Americans may receive a tariff ‘dividend’ of at least $2,000 could come via the tax cuts passed in his signature economic policy bill earlier this year,” Bloomberg reports.

Bessent was asked about a social media post by Trump earlier Sunday that derided people who oppose tariffs and said a “dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”
