During an event in the Oval Office, President Trump stated that his administration intends to distribute tariff dividends to American citizens, particularly targeting individuals of moderate income. He indicated that these dividends would be issued sometime before the 2026 midterm elections, with a proposed amount of $2,000 per citizen. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had previously confirmed the plan for these checks, which are part of the administration's broader economic strategy. The announcement coincided with discussions about the administration's role in bringing the FIFA World Cup to the United States, reflecting a focus on leveraging major events for political and economic gain. This development is part of ongoing discussions regarding the impact of tariffs and corporate policies on the American populace, particularly in terms of economic equity and support for lower-income individuals.
