Trump, tariffs and Supreme Court
Digest more
On Jan. 11, Trump claimed that $2,000 stimulus checks could be sent to Americans "toward the end of the year."

Trump announced in November that “a dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone” using revenue collected from his sweeping tariffs. He later said that any leftover money would be used to “SUBSTANTIALLY” pay down the nation’s around $38 trillion national debt.
President Trump previously suggested issuing "tariff dividend" checks. After the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs policy, that's unlikely, experts say.
