Trump Launches Stock Accounts for Minors Amid Policy Shifts
President Donald Trump announced automatic stock investment accounts for all Americans under 18 as part of a broader 2025 tax overhaul.
Donald Trump announced the automatic enrollment of all Americans under 18 into Trump Accounts, government-established stock investment accounts. Under a 2025 tax overhaul, the government will provide $1,000 seed funding for children born between 2025 and 2028, with an option for annual after-tax contributions up to $5,000.
The announcement comes as the administration implements several other domestic and international measures. The White House introduced $90 Medicare rebates for eligible enrollees, while the Department of Homeland Security proposed a $70,000 fee for international students seeking employment in the United States.
On the international front, the president scheduled a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a possible plague outbreak in Siberia. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio advocated for the pursuit of national power during a speech in Greece, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth awarded the Presidential Unit Citation to the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Domestic tensions remain high as the Democratic National Committee sued the administration, alleging that taxpayer-funded political advertisements violate propaganda laws. President Trump also faced protests during a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas.
