Trump‘s Proposed $2,000 Bonus Remains Under Review, White house Confirms
WASHINGTON - The White House affirmed Tuesday that President Trump’s proposal to send a $2,000 bonus to Americans remains under consideration, despite initial reports suggesting the idea lacked formal planning. The potential payout, initially floated by the President last Sunday, is currently being analyzed by his economic 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 details 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 and sparking debate over the source and distribution of funds.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously indicated to reporters that no formal proposal existed to return funds to citizens and that he had not been briefed on the possibility. However, White House advisor Leavitt later clarified to the press that “The president made it clear that he wants this to become a reality… So his team of economic advisors is studying it.”
Trump initially announced the potential bonus on Sunday, linking it to the revenue generated from tariffs. He stated,”People who are against tariffs are stupid! We are now the richest and moast respected country in the world,with almost no inflation and a record price in the stock market.”
The feasibility and funding mechanism for the $2,000 bonus remain unclear, leaving questions about how the proposal would be executed and when Americans might expect to receive the funds. Further updates are anticipated as the economic advisors complete their review.
