In a recent interview, President Trump declared that his promised $5,000 payment to Americans does not require congressional approval, though he acknowledged that if it were necessary, lawmakers would likely back the initiative.

When questioned on the legislative process, Trump stated, "We don't think so," regarding the need for approval. He added, "If we need it, I think they will approve it, but we don't think we need it."

The President reaffirmed that the funds must be spent within the United States, describing the measure as a "massive money injection" into the economy. However, he did not provide specifics on how this spending restriction would be enforced.
