特朗普总统周三表示，其政府为儿童设立的新投资账户将在减少美国年轻人对社会主义和共产主义的正面看法方面产生“巨大影响”。
President Trump said Wednesday his administration’s new investment accounts for children will have a “huge effect” in reducing positive views of socialism and communism among young Americans.
在椭圆形办公室举行的“特朗普账户”推广活动中，总统表示，孩子们将“看着自己的账户”不断增值，直到年满18岁后获得账户控制权。
During an event in the Oval Office promoting the “Trump Accounts,” the president said children will be “watching their accounts” grow until gaining control over them upon turning 18.
根据特朗普于2025年7月签署的《一项伟大而美好的法案》，儿童现在将被自动纳入该计划。美国财政部称，自动注册将使超过6000万名儿童拥有账户。特朗普总统周三表示，目前已有近800万名儿童拥有账户。
Children will now be automatically enrolled in the initiative, which the administration created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Trump signed into law in July 2025. The auto-enrollment will result in more than 60 million additional kids having an account, per the Treasury Department. The president said Wednesday that nearly 8 million children already have an account.
“从长远来看，我认为这将对……（对）社会主义和共产主义的看法产生巨大影响，”特朗普预测道。“这确实是一种替代方案，而且是一个绝佳的替代方案。”从2025年初至2028年出生的儿童，其账户将获得联邦政府提供的1000美元资金，但这笔钱需要由父母申请。当孩子年满18岁时，该账户将转变为传统的个人退休账户。
“Long term, I think it’ll have a huge effect on … [views of] socialism, communism,” Trump predicted. “This is really the alternative, and it’s a great alternative.”Children born from the start of 2025 through 2028 will receive $1,000 from the federal government in their accounts, money that parents have to request. Once the child turns 18, their account will function as a traditional individual retirement account.
联邦政府还将将这些账户投资于五种低成本交易所交易基金之一。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示，这将帮助美国年轻人了解股票市场。
The federal government will also invest the accounts in one of five low-cost exchange-traded funds, which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said will contribute to young Americans learning about the stock market.
贝森特在椭圆形办公室表示：“我认为这将是一个实时的金融素养培养项目。”
“I think this is going to be a real-time financial literacy project,” Bessent said in the Oval Office.
出席白宫活动的德克萨斯州共和党参议员泰德·克鲁兹表示，这些账户将成为特朗普总统遗产中“最重要的部分之一”。
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who was at the White House for the event, said the accounts will be one of the “biggest parts” of Trump’s legacy.
这位德克萨斯州共和党参议员评论道：“我们正在培养出一代全新的资本家。”
“We are creating a whole new generation of capitalists,” the Texas Republican remarked.
总统和共和党议员们最近批评民主党，称近期在全国初选中获胜的左翼候选人是民主党被“共产主义者”掌控的证据。
The president and GOP lawmakers have attacked Democrats over the recent crop of left-wing candidates winning primaries across the country, claiming it is evidence of a “communist” takeover of the party.
在最近的一项盖洛普民意调查中，超过四成的受访者对社会主义持正面看法，这是该机构调查以来的最高比例。在18至34岁的受访者中，有57%的人对社会主义持正面看法。
More than 4 in 10 respondents to a recent Gallup poll had a positive view of socialism, the highest mark the firm has surveyed. Fifty-seven percent of respondents ages 18-34 had a positive view of socialism.
