flag Trump proposes tariff-funded $1K–$2K checks, but economists warn it could fuel inflation.

flag Former President Donald Trump has proposed using tariff revenue to issue $1,000 to $2,000 stimulus checks to Americans, but economists warn this could trigger inflation by creating a feedback loop where higher prices justify further tariffs. flag Experts say the money would likely be spent, boosting demand and fueling inflation, similar to past pandemic-era payments, though with reduced purchasing power due to inflation. flag The idea lacks an official plan, and analysts call it politically driven rather than economically sound. flag Upcoming economic data, delayed by the government shutdown, will be crucial in assessing the impact.
