00:00President Donald Trump has announced plans to send $2,000 payments to most Americans,
00:05funded by revenue from tariffs. He claims that trillions collected from tariffs will finance
00:10these payments, while excluding wealthy individuals. However, experts warn that the
00:15available funds might not be enough to cover all payments. There are also concerns that
00:18injecting this much money into the economy could risk inflation or may require approval from
00:23Congress. Legal challenges surround the plan, as courts are reviewing whether the president has
00:28the authority to collect and use these tariffs under emergency powers. Treasury officials have
00:33suggested the payments could take the form of tax cuts or direct stimulus checks, but details remain
00:39unclear. President Trump assures that any leftover revenue will be used to significantly reduce the
00:44national debt. Stay tuned for ongoing updates on the stimulus payment and its impact on the economy.
