Former President Donald Trump has floated the idea of a $2,000 \u201ctariff dividend,\u201d but the plan remains vague and unofficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump claims the money would come from years of tariff revenue and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
said payments could begin \u201cby the middle of next year, a little bit later than that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added, \u201cWe\u2019re going to be issuing dividends,\u201d aimed at \u201clow, moderate and middle incomes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No legislation or IRS plan exists, and experts say eligibility is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One analyst suggested it may follow past relief rules, asking, \u201cIs your income below $75,000 a year as an individual?\u201d but nothing is confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, \u201cWe will see,\u201d stressing that \u201cwe need legislation for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Critics doubt the cost, with Sen. Ron Johnson warning, \u201cLook, we can\u2019t afford it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estimates show the proposal could cost far more than current tariff revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
