Warrior Dividend payments of $1,776 to more than 1,450,000 military service members, with checks to be delivered before Christmas.

President Donald J. Trump delivered a primetime year-end address from the White House highlighting what he described as transformative achievements in his first 11 months: claims of sharply lower inflation and consumer costs, stricter border security, an $1,776 "Warrior Dividend" to more than 1.45 million service members, large tax cuts coming next year, and major investment and energy-policy actions. The speech reiterated administration assertions about falling drug shipments, economic recovery, and foreign-policy successes, and linked those claims to promised further prosperity and national strength in the year ahead.
