US President Donald Trump has announced an executive order designed to expand retirement savings access for millions of Americans without employer-sponsored plans, such as 401(k)s. This initiative targets approximately 56 million workers, particularly benefiting low-income individuals through a federal matching contribution of up to $1,000 annually. The program, which will allow eligible participants to open low-cost Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) similar to those available to federal employees, is set to launch next year.
