The article should say, the US Gov't is set to receive a $10 billion fee. The money should not go into peoples' pockets. Shouldn't that amount go directly to the US Gov't and be used for government expenses. Is trump going to pocket that money? Isn't that the administrations job to broker deals with companies and governments? I wasn't aware that any monetary gains would be pocketed by individuals.
