President Trump suggested he won’t need to wait on Congress to send $2,000 rebate checks to Americans.
“I don’t think we would have to go to the Congress, but you know, we’ll find out. The reason we’re even talking about it is that we have so much money coming in from tariffs that we’ll be able to issue at least a $2,000 dividend and also pay down debt for the country,” he said.
When similar checks were distributed in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress needed to approve the distributions.
The legislative branch controls the federal purse.
