Donald Trump announces $1,776 ‘Warrior Dividend’ for over 1.45 million US military troops | World News

US President Donald Trump has announced a special programme for the country’s military personnel. Under the programme, over 1.45 million military service members will receive a special “Warrior Dividend” of $1,776 each before Chrmas, Trump said.
Emphasising that no one deserves the dividend more than the military, the US president attributed the funds to tariffs and a recently passed bill, citing the country’s founding in 1776 as inspiration for the amount.

“Because of tariffs, along with the just passed one big beautiful bill, tonight, I am also proud to announce that more than 1,450,000 military service members will receive a special, we call, warrior dividend before Chrmas, a warrior dividend in honour of our nation’s founding in 1776. We are sending every soldier $1,776,” Trump said while addressing the nation on Wednesday (Dec 18).
“And the checks are already on the way. We made a lot more money than anybody thought because of tariffs and the bill helped us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military. And I say congratulations to everybody,” he added.
The move is a part of the Trump adminration’s efforts to recognise the nation’s military personnel.

“Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess, and I’m fixing it,” Trump said.
“We had the worst trade deals ever made and our country was laughed at from all over the world. But they’re not laughing anymore… Over the past 11 months we have brought more positive change to Washington than any adminration in American hory. There’s never been anything like it, and I think most would agree,” he added.
