Trump Proposes Stimulus

U.S. President Donald Trump proposed using tariff revenue for stimulus checks.
He proposed $2,000 payments for individuals earning under $100,000, aligning with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).
At a Miami summit, he floated a $5,000 "DOGE dividend," but details remain unclear.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said any proposal depends on Congress and the resolution of the ongoing government shutdown.
There are currently no formal plans for additional stimulus checks because legislation must be introduced.
