00:00US President Donald Trump claims he would pay every American adult a $5,000 Trump dividend
00:06if Republicans retain control of Congress in November's midterm election. Trump proposes
00:11this at his Republican Party's first ever midterm convention, but it was not immediately clear how
00:15the payments would work or whether they would be legal. With approximately 270 million US adults,
00:22it would cost around $1.35 trillion. But it was not clear whether his campaign-style speech would
00:28appeal to the critical swing voters. Opinion polls show the swing voters drifted away from Trump's
00:34party amid growing dissatisfaction with the cost of living and the war on Iran.
00:38Meantime, top White House advisors, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State
00:43Marco Rubio, privately warned Trump about a prolonged war. A report by The Wall Street Journal says the
00:48advisors told Trump Tehran could continue to resist US pressure, potentially prolonging the conflict
00:53beyond Inauguration Day in January 2029.
