President Donald Trump said he is weighing a plan to send Americans $2,000 rebate checks using money generated from tariffs, signaling a potential new round of direct payments tied to his trade policies.

Speaking in an interview with NBC News correspondent Tom Llamas that aired ahead of the Super Bowl, Trump said the idea is under active consideration, citing the scale of revenue he says tariffs are producing for the country.

“We’d make it — I’m looking at it very seriously,” Trump said in the interview. “I’m the only one who can do it because I’m taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of money from tariffs.”

When asked whether the public should anticipate receiving the payments, Trump indicated it was possible but said a final decision has not yet been made.

“Oh yeah, sure. I can do that,” he said. “I haven’t made the commitment yet, but I may make the commitment.”

Trump likened the potential rebates to recent one-time bonus payments issued to U.S. service members, pointing to a $1,776 check tied to his budget initiatives.

The comments come as Trump continues to aggressively defend his tariff strategy, arguing that it has boosted the American economy while compelling other countries to contribute financially to U.S. prosperity. He said tariffs are “making our country rich” and bringing in “tremendous amounts of money.”

“The one thing that they don’t say anymore is affordability, because I fixed the problem that they created,” Trump said.
