Trump Unveils Newborn Savings Plan: $1,000 Per Child

On Monday local time, Trump officially announced the "Trump Savings Account" during a roundtable meeting with CEOs from companies like Dell, Goldman Sachs, and Uber, calling it one of the "most important" components of his second term. The "Trump Savings Account" is part of the "Great Beautiful Act" that Trump passed in the House last month. The proposal requires the Treasury Department to provide a $1,000 investment account for children born in the U.S. between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2029. Newborns will automatically be enrolled in the program. Parents or other account custodians can deposit up to an additional $5,000 of after-tax funds into these accounts annually, which will be invested in index funds tracking the U.S. stock market. Beneficiaries can access the funds once they turn 18. A White House official confirmed that CEOs from several major companies are expected to announce on Monday that they will jointly invest billions of dollars to establish "Trump Savings Accounts" for their employees' children.
