Trump to Visit Georgia to Tout Affordability Agenda

The federal savings program gives eligible children a $1,000 starter deposit and limits withdrawals until age 18, the White House said.

  • President Donald Trump will visit Wheeler High School in Marietta on Wednesday, July 22, to promote the administration's "Trump Accounts" investment program for children.
  • Launched on July 4, the "Trump Accounts" program provides a $1,000 Treasury contribution for children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, aiming to boost financial independence.
  • Families of 6 million children have claimed accounts since launch, with parents able to contribute up to $5,000 annually on a tax-deferred basis, according to Fidelity Investments.
  • The president will also discuss the "Working Families Tax Cuts," which officials claim have increased tax refunds and spurred private-sector investments across Georgia families and small businesses.
  • Critics argue the program fails to address immediate childhood needs like poverty and food insecurity, while the administration positions the accounts as tools for long-term savings and homeownership.
