The Trump administration is actively working to increase access to retirement accounts for individuals who do not have the option to obtain them through their employment. Wall Street Journal (Markets) posted on X, highlighting the administration's efforts to address the gap in retirement savings options available to many workers. This initiative aims to provide more Americans with the opportunity to save for their future, particularly those employed in positions that do not offer retirement benefits.
