No decision has been made on President Donald Trump’s proposal to send Americans rebate checks funded by revenues collected from tariffs, the White House said Monday.
Trump is floating the idea of distributing part of the hundreds of billions of dollars the Treasury has collected since April, when he imposed global tariffs aimed at restoring fair trade relations between the United States and the rest of the world. The U.S. Supreme Court will soon hear arguments on whether the president can use his emergency powers to issue these customs duties in the first place.
