Tap title to read story
The White House is exploring a $5,000 "baby bonus" per birth to counter declining US birth rates. President Trump voiced support, calling it a "good idea." House Speaker Mike Johnson called it "creative," while Vice President Vance suggested a similar $5,000 child tax credit expansion. The plan's funding source and eligibility criteria remain unclear. If implemented in 2023, the cost would have been $17.9 billion. This initiative follows previous proposals from the Trump administration to incentivize larger families.
