Trump says every adult American would get $5,000 if Republicans win midterms
Speaking at a party convention, the US president gave no details on how the plan would work or where the money would come from.
US President Donald Trump says he would offer every adult American a $5,000 (£3,700) payout if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in November's midterm elections - a plan that would cost more than a trillion dollars.
The controversial offer was made in a speech at the party's first-ever convention in the middle of a US presidential term.
He gave no details on how the plan would work or where the money would come from - saying only that the money would have to be spent in the US.
He made the comments ahead of his speech in Texas, repeating it at the convention where he argued that short-term economic pain was worth it to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.
