US: President Donald Trump has pledged to give each American adult a $5,000 payment if Republicans win control of both chambers of Congress in November’s midterm elections. There are nearly 270 million American adults, which means a the plan would cost the US government some $1.3 trillion. Trump announced the plan during a speech at the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention, but offered few details about how it would be funded or implemented, other than saying the money would have to be spent in the US. Democrats dismissed the proposal as an “empty promise”, while questions have also been raised over the legality of such a pledge.
