President Donald Trump of the United States announced this Sunday (9/11) that the United States would pay $2,000 to all Americans, excluding high-income earners, using funds raised from taxes on foreign imported goods. The current amount corresponds to a direct estimate of approximately R$10,700.
This statement was made in a publication on the Truth social network. President Trump has argued that tariffs imposed on countries such as Brazil, China, Mexico and Canada are costing the United States trillions of dollars.
“We have raised trillions of dollars and will soon begin paying down our massive $37 trillion debt. Investment in the United States is at record levels, factories and factories are being built across the country. A dividend of at least $2,000 per person will be paid to everyone (except the highest earners!),” he said.

In a post, the Republican called those who oppose the tariffs “idiots.”
“Anyone who opposes tariffs is an idiot! We are now the richest and most respected country in the world, with near-zero inflation and record stock prices,” Trump said.
The US president did not provide details on how the dividends would be distributed or who would be eligible to receive them.
longest strike in history
This Sunday marks the 40th consecutive day of the U.S. government shutdown. The impasse between President Donald Trump and Congress is impacting millions of Americans, crippling federal programs and threatening the world’s largest country’s economy. This will be the longest government shutdown in the country’s history.
The government shutdown began on October 1 after Congress failed to approve a federal budget. The next day, the White House began cutting staff across multiple government agencies.
On October 10, President Trump announced his intention to fire “many” employees who are said to be sympathetic to the Democratic Party.
After a court ruling blocked further job cuts, the government maintained its layoff plan, suggesting that the cuts could reach 10,000 if the impasse continues.
The strike has left more than 1 million federal workers without pay. Some have been forced to report to work, while others have been placed on unpaid leave with no prospect of returning.
