Trump‘s Proposed $2,000 Bonus Remains Under Review, White house Confirms
WASHINGTON โค- The White House affirmed Tuesday that President Trump’s proposal to send a $2,000 bonus โฃto Americans remains underโฃ consideration, despiteโ initial reports suggesting the โidea lacked โฃformal planning. The potential payout, initially floated by the President last Sunday, is currently being analyzed by his โคeconomic advisors, according to a statement from White House officials.
The proposal emerged as Trump touted the success of his tariff policies, claiming thay have contributed to the nation’s economic strength. While โdetails regarding implementation and a timeline are still absent, the white House’s confirmation signals the idea hasn’t been dismissed, potentially impacting millions of Americans โฃand sparking debate over the source andโ distribution of funds. โข
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously indicated to reporters thatโข no formal proposal existedโ to return โฃfunds to citizensโ and thatโ he had not been briefed on the possibility. However, White House โคadvisor Leavitt later clarified toโข the press thatโ “The president made โฃit โคclear โthatโ he wants this โto become a realityโฆ โคSo his team ofโข economic advisors is studying โฃit.”
Trump initially announced theโค potential bonus โฃon Sunday, linking it โto the revenueโ generated from โtariffs. He stated,”People who are against tariffs are stupid! We areโข nowโ the richest and moast respected country โin the world,with almost โno inflation and a recordโ price in the stock โคmarket.”
The feasibility and funding mechanism for the $2,000 bonusโค remain unclear, leaving โคquestions โคaboutโข how the proposal would be executed and when โคAmericans might expect to receive the funds. Further updates are anticipated as the economic advisors complete their review.
