The federal government is set to launch so-called Trump Accounts for children on July 4, a new savings initiative that promises free money for eligible families and comes with specific rules about when those funds can be tapped. The rollout marks one of the more notable domestic policy moves timed to Independence Day, drawing attention from parents and financial planners alike.
