According to PANews, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has expressed openness to increasing the federal minimum wage, which has remained at $7.25 per hour since 2009. Trump acknowledged the current rate as "a very low number" and indicated a willingness to discuss potential changes with state governors. This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about wage standards across the country.
In addition to wage considerations, Trump has committed to releasing his full medical records. By the end of his term in 2029, Trump will be 82 years old, matching the current age of President Joe Biden. This move aims to address public interest in the health and fitness of presidential candidates, especially as they age.
Trump also addressed his involvement with Truth Social, a social media platform he founded, valued at $1 billion. He stated that he has no plans to divest from the platform, emphasizing his role in sharing information rather than managing assets. This decision highlights Trump's continued engagement with the platform and his influence in the digital communication space.
