US President Donald Trump has pledged a US$5,000 payout for every American adult, if his Republican party wins the upcoming November congressional election. The proposal could rake up a US$1 trillion bill for an estimated 270 million people. It's unclear how the payments will work or whether they would be legal. At the first-ever midterm convention for Republicans, Mr Trump also defended his decision to attack Iran, promising oil prices will dip as soon as the war is won. The US and Iran yesterday launched their most intense strikes since the war started more than six months ago. Kate Fisher reports from Washington DC.
