Trump proposed giving each person a $2,000 tariff "bonus," but Bessant suggested it might be implemented through tax cuts or other means.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessant said President Trump's proposal that Americans could receive at least a $2,000 tariff "bonus" could be realized through tax cuts passed earlier this year in his signature economic policy bill. Bessant made the remarks on ABC's This Week program when asked about a post Trump made on social media earlier Sunday. In the post, Trump mocked those opposed to the tariffs, saying he would give everyone at least a $2,000 bonus, excluding high-income earners.
