thebalanced.newsTrump to Sign Executive Order Expanding Access to Retirement Plans
Former President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order directing the Treasury Department to create TrumpIRA.gov, a website to help workers find private-sector retirement plans. The initiative aims to align with Biden-era legislation offering government contribution matches to boost retirement savings for lower-income individuals. About 56 million private-sector employees lack employer-sponsored plans. The order comes amid declining economic approval ratings for Trump and concerns over inflation and geopolitical tensions affecting voter sentiment ahead of the midterm elections.
