Will Americans Get Trump's Promised $2,000 Tariff Dividend in November 2025? Here's What We Know
Trump proposes using tariff revenue to pay $2,000 dividends to middle- and lower-income Americans, but experts say revenue may be insufficient and would increase federal debt.
- On Nov. 9, President Donald Trump proposed issuing about $2,000 tariff dividends to middle-income people and lower-income people, reiterating the plan while taking press questions.
- Trump argues tariffs protect U.S. industry and raise money for the federal government, and he says remaining tariff receipts will soon lower the $37 Trillion federal debt.
- Tax Foundation analysis finds the proposed $2,000 dividend would cost nearly $300 billion, with Treasury data showing $195 billion in customs duties for fiscal 2025.
- Kevin Hassett said tariff revenue could cover the $2,000 checks but disbursing them would require legislation, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Congressional approval is needed.
- Tariffs will increase U.S. households' burden by an estimated $1,600 in 2026, while CRFB projects $2,000 dividends would push debt to 134% of GDP, according to the Tax Foundation.
