'Trump accounts' will bring financial literacy for millions, Treasury Secretary says

The White House announced the launch of Trump Accounts, providing $1,000 government-funded investment accounts for children born during Trump's second term. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted that 86% of 6 million enrolled families earn less than $200,000, with private donors like Michael Dell and Ray Dalio contributing seed money. Critics argue the program does little to address early childhood poverty.
