Donald Trump has promised a $5,000 payment to every American adult if Republicans win the House and Senate in the midterm elections. During the Republican convention in Dallas, the president said the money would be given as a "dividend" and should be spent within the United States. He urged Americans to support the Republicans, calling the outcome crucial to his economic and security policies.
Trump also spoke about the war with Iran, defending the US strikes and arguing that they prevented Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He did not rule out other strikes. The US president also touched on customs tariffs, which he described as an important source of revenue for the US. In a moment of humor, Trump suggested that the Strait of Hormuz be called “Trump Strait” and New Mexico be renamed “New America”.
