Trump says US authorities will pay citizens $2,000 'dividends' from tariffs

President Donald Trump has stated that American authorities intend to pay citizens "dividends" of at least $2,000 per person.

The US leader asserted on the social network Truth Social that the tariffs imposed by Washington on products from other countries have allowed the US to generate significant revenue. "We are taking in trillions of dollars and will soon begin paying down our enormous debt, $37 trillion," he noted.

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," Trump added. He did not provide any details regarding this plan.
