Trump Administration Proposes $2,000 Tariff Rebate Checks for Low- and Middle-Income Earners
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the TRUMP administration's push for $2,000 tariff rebate checks, targeting low- and middle-income households. The proposal, requiring congressional approval, aims to distribute funds to families earning $100,000 or less annually.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent earlier suggested the income cap, framing the payments as a "dividend" from tariff revenues. Lutnick emphasized the policy's intent to strengthen America while ensuring aid reaches those in need.
