> US President Donald Trump says he would give every adult American $5,000 if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in November’s midterm elections. The proposal could cost about $1.3tn, but Trump gave no details on its funding or operation. Democrats called it an “empty promise”, while legal experts questioned whether it would be lawful.
