Story summary
  • A law signed by U.S. President Donald Trump will establish accounts providing a $1,000 government deposit for millions of eligible children, beginning in mid-2026 to reduce wealth inequality.
  • Experts say similar strategies could address retirement issues, with proposals modeled after Australia's Superannuation system that mandates employer contributions.
