President Trump vowed to issue tariff dividends sometime before the 2026 midterms during an Oval Office event touting his administration’s work bringing the FIFA World Cup to the US.
“We’re gonna be issuing dividends later on, somewhere prior to — the middle of next year, a little bit later than that,” he said, noting it would include “Thousands of dollars, for individuals of moderate income.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously revealed that the proposed $2,000 tariff dividend checks for American citizens would be awarded, but noted that the idea was only “in discussion.”
Bessent said that the payments “could come in lots of forms,” including as “just the tax decreases that we are seeing” following cuts made in the Big Beautiful Bill.
