Hey there! 😊 Have you ever sent a gift or a letter to someone in another country? Well, many people who work in the United States send money to their families and friends overseas. This is called a remittance.
Recently, there’s been talk about U.S. President Donald Trump wanting to tax these remittances. 🤔 That means if someone wants to send money to help their family in another country, they might have to pay extra fees to the government.
Why is this happening? The idea is part of President Trump’s plan to address immigration issues. Some believe that taxing remittances could help raise money for the country and encourage people to follow immigration laws.
However, others are concerned. 💭 Many families rely on this money for important things like food, school, and medicine. Adding a tax could make it harder for them to get the help they need.
It’s a big topic with lots of opinions! What do you think about it? How might it affect people you know or people around the world? Let’s have a conversation! 🗣️
