U.S. President Donald Trump suggested returning a portion of government savings to taxpayers during a Saudi-backed investment event in Miami. He proposed allocating 20% of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) savings to citizens and another 20% toward reducing national debt, though details remain unclear.
Trump commended billionaire Elon Musk’s leadership of DOGE, an agency established to cut government waste and streamline spending. “DOGE is fighting fraud and abuse, curbing inflation, and saving taxpayers billions every day,” Trump said. The department claims to have saved $55 billion in its first month, with Musk targeting $1 trillion to $2 trillion in savings by 2026. Major spending cuts have focused on USAID and the Department of Education.
Reaffirming his stance on trade, Trump emphasized the success of recently imposed tariffs. He announced plans for a 25% tariff on automobile, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor imports, with some duties taking effect within a month. Trump has already implemented a 10% tariff on China and 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, warning of potential additional trade restrictions.
Trump’s address underscored his administration’s focus on fiscal responsibility and trade policies aimed at boosting the U.S. economy.
