President Donald Trump has promised to give every adult US citizen a $5,000 dividend if Republicans retain control of both houses of Congress.

At Wednesday’s Republican midterm convention, President Donald Trump pledged to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in November. He also defended the US war in Iran and attacked Democrats.

Oil rises above $100 a barrel as the war with Iran intensifies and Tehran says it will not back down. Donald Trump says the US will win and suggests renaming the Strait of Hormuz the “Trump Strait,” while an Iranian official says Iran is ready to escalate. Disrupted energy supplies revive inflation concerns, and OPEC output falls as the conflict curbs Saudi flows.

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.

At a unique two-day Republican convention in Dallas on Wednesday, President Donald Trump urged Republicans to “pretend” he is on the ballot in November’s midterm elections. He also pledged a $5,000 dividend for every American adult if Republicans win both chambers of Congress.

President Donald Trump said he expected the war with Iran to end after the November U.S. midterm elections and again threatened to attack a site linked to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. His remarks followed the biggest wave of attacks on shipping since the six-month-old war began.
President Trump’s speech at the Republican convention centered on a promise of a $5,000 payment and his claim that oil prices will “come tumbling down.”

A senior Iranian official says Iran is prepared for a more intense war and will intensify counterstrikes if the US continues attacking its territory and infrastructure. Trump says the war will end after the US election.
CNN fact-checks some claims made by Trump.
President Donald Trump offered voters what he called a “Trump dividend”: elect Republicans and receive a $5,000 payment. Announced at the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas, the proposal is unlikely to become law because Congress would have to approve a program costing well over $1 trillion, while Republicans have rejected similar ideas.
