President Trump has announced he's planning to pay Americans a dividend from all the income the U.S. government is making from the tariffs being charged to other countries.

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," the president wrote on social media on Sunday.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he hadn't worked out the details with the president, but he offered some ideas on how the plan might play out.

Bessent said the money could be conveyed through tax savings in Trump's signature domestic spending measure. He told ABC News ' "This Week" that the payout could come "in lots of forms."

"It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president's agenda," he said.
