Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a proposal to provide a $2,000 dividend to American citizens, linking it to his tariff policy. During a recent address, Trump defended his stance on tariffs, calling those who oppose them “fools,” and said the revenue generated from tariffs on imported goods would directly benefit U.S. citizens.
According to Trump, the initiative aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing while ensuring that the profits from foreign trade tariffs “go back to the American people.” However, the plan reportedly comes with certain eligibility conditions, which have not yet been fully detailed.
The announcement has reignited debate over Trump’s trade policies, with critics questioning the long-term economic impact of tariffs and supporters praising the move as a way to put “America First” by redistributing trade revenues to citizens.
