WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump praised the upcoming launch of Trump Accounts, the new initiative that sets up investment accounts for children, which was included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, during a full-day summit hosted by the Treasury Department on Wednesday.

“Over the next 15 years, we’re going to put $3 [trillion] to $4 trillion of wealth into the hands of young Americans,” Trump said as he began his speech.
