Trump Renews $5,000 Payment Promise Linked to GOP Midterm Election Outcome
US President Donald Trump renewed his promise to provide $5,000 to every adult American if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. He linked the payments to revenue generated from tariffs and economic policies, claiming Democrats would not be able to fund such payments. The proposal, described as a "dividend," would require congressional approval and could cost over $1 trillion. Details on payment timing and distribution remain unspecified.
