US President Donald Trump has pledged $5,000 (£3,700) to every American if the Republicans win the midterm elections in November. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
Trump offered no details on how the plan would work or where the money would come from. Democrats labelled it an "empty promise" and others have questioned whether such a pledge is even legal.
BBC North America editor Sarah Smith looks into whether Trump's promise — which would cost the US government some $1.3 trillion — stands up.
