President Donald Trump on Thursday said his administration is considering using money it brings in through his tariff plan to send a rebate of roughly $1,000 to Americans. The comment is the first time Trump gave a figure on potential rebates. The president previously expressed support for tariff rebate checks in July and Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley introduced legislation that would send at least $600 to every American adult and child in a rebate that is similar to pandemic-era stimulus checks. "We also might make a distribution to the people, almost like a dividend to the people of America," Trump said, per Reuters. "We could cut projects that they wanted, favorite projects, and they'd be permanently cut," he said, adding, "I am allowed to cut things that should have never been approved in the first place and I will probably do that."
