He said the payments are intended to honor the nation\u2019s founding in 1776 and credited tariffs and a recently passed bill for generating the funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause of tariffs, along with the just-passed \u2018one big beautiful bill,\u2019 tonight I\u2019m also proud to announce that more than 1,450,000 military service members will receive a special \u2018warrior dividend\u2019 in honor of our nation\u2019s founding in 1776,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We are sending every soldier $1,776, and the checks are already on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe made a lot more money than anybody thought because of tariffs, and the bill helped us along,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;Nobody deserves it more than our military, and I say congratulations to everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump also pointed to what he described as a sharp turnaround in military recruiting. \u201cWe now have record enlistment in our military, and last year we had among the worst recruitment numbers in our military\u2019s history. What a difference a year makes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Axios, the payments would total roughly $2.5 billion, representing a small portion of more than $200 billion in tariff revenue collected by the administration this year. Axios reported that it remains unclear how the administration plans to appropriate the funds without prior approval from Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump announced a one-time cash payment for U.S. military service members, saying more than 1.45 million troops will receive $1,776 each as a \u201cwarrior dividend\u201d tied to tariff revenue and recent legislation, according to the White House.
