Trump’s Payout Promise, Apple Unveils First Foldable iPhone
President Trump, in a speech at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, pledged a $5,000 payment to every American adult if Republicans win the midterm elections. This proposal, estimated to cost over $1 trillion, lacked specific funding details and is seen by analysts as unlikely to pass Congress. Trump positioned himself as central to the election, urging voters to cast their ballots as if he were on the ticket.
Trump's proposal aims to galvanize Republican voters ahead of the midterms amid waning popularity and ongoing geopolitical tensions, but its financial implications and feasibility raise questions about fiscal responsibility and market confidence in U.S. economic policy.
The episode also covers rising Brent oil prices due to escalating US-Iran tensions, the European Central Bank's anticipated interest rate hike, and Apple's unveiling of its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo.
