Donald Trump held an address to the nation from the White House on Wednesday. The president, who once again took a swipe at former President Joe Biden, shares news of a check that will be given out for Christmas to a particular group: military personnel.
In November, Donald Trump shared news that had millions of Americans cheering. After the administration, according to Trump, had brought in “trillions of dollars” in tariff revenue, he promised to give $2,000 to every American.
Exactly when that would be paid out and how was not clear, but experts urged caution regarding the president’s pledge.
After Trump pledged to help Americans economically, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke on ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos about the $2,000. While he didn’t provide any details, the Treasury Secretary said it might not be a check.
Bessent shared an update last week, saying that working Americans are getting “very large refunfs” of $1,000 to $2,000 per household early next year. However, in his Wednesday chat with the nation from the White House, Trump shared news that some are getting it earlier.
