Danielle Kurtzleben, an NPR reporter specializing in tariff analysis, discusses President Trump's proposal to offer $2,000 dividends to Americans from tariff revenue. She reveals that experts doubt the revenue can support such refunds, potentially leading to a budget deficit. Additionally, Kurtzleben explains how the White House might explore tax cuts instead of direct payments. The podcast also delves into the administration's legal stance, arguing that tariffs should be viewed as regulatory rather than primarily revenue-generating.
