<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nUS Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said Donald Trump\u2019s proposed USD 5,000 \u201cdividend\u201d for American adults would not be funded through tax revenue amid questions over how the plan would be financed.According to The Guardian, Trump has proposed the one-time payment if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in November\u2019s midterm elections. Trump announced the plan at a Republican convention rally in Dallas, Texas, but did not provide details on how the payments would be funded.<\/p>\n Speaking to NBC News, Lutnick said: \u201cIt\u2019s not tax money\u201d. He added the administration could \u201cearn the money that Donald Trump wants to pay out, not from the deficit and not from taxpayers\u201d.He pointed to possible revenue from a planned Commerce Department programme that could charge wealthy foreign visitors up to USD 5 million to extend their US visas.Lutnick said more than 100,000 people were on a waitlist and estimated the programme could generate about USD 500 billion.He also cited the government’s USD 8.9 billion investment in chipmaker Intel, saying the company’s share price had risen significantly since the investment.<\/p>\n Trump announced the proposed payout during a speech at the Republican midterm convention, saying every adult citizen would receive USD 5,000 if Republicans won the House of Representatives and Senate.\u201cIf the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them,\u201d Trump said, \u201cI will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.\u201dHe said the money would have to be spent in the US, telling supporters: \u201cWe don’t want you going to Canada to spend the money.\u201dTrump also suggested that tariff revenue could help fund the payments. Vice-President JD Vance has backed that possibility, describing the proposed payment as a dividend for American workers.<\/p>\n The proposal could carry a huge price tag. With nearly 270 million adults in the US, a $5,000 payment to every adult would cost roughly USD 1.3 trillion.The plan has therefore raised questions over whether it is financially and legally feasible, particularly as the US national debt has crossed USD 40 trillion.White House officials have floated different ways of funding the proposal. National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett said the administration was considering a congressional \u201creconciliation process\u201d and argued that the plan could be implemented in a \u201cfiscally responsible way\u201d.<\/p>\n Vance has suggested that the money raised through Trump\u2019s tariffs could be used to finance the payments. However, questions remain over whether tariff revenue would be sufficient.The US Supreme Court has ruled that revenue from Trump\u2019s \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariffs must be returned. Trump had also previously proposed USD 2,000 payments to taxpayers funded by tariff receipts, but those payments were never introduced.The Tax Foundation has said an earlier USD 2,000 tariff-funded proposal would have cost more than the tariff revenue generated.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s latest proposal comes ahead of the November midterm elections, where Republicans are seeking to maintain control of Congress.An Associated Press poll recently found that just 32 per cent of US adults approved of Trump\u2019s handling of the economy, down from 40 per cent at the start of his second term.The proposed USD 5,000 payment has drawn criticism from Democrats, who have called it an \u201cempty promise\u201d, while others have questioned how the programme could be implemented.<\/div>\n US President Donald Trump.
