> 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 plan could cost more than $1tn, but he offered no details on how it would work or be funded. Democrats called it an “empty promise”, while others questioned whether it is legal or feasible.
