白宫一直在提出建议，旨在说服人们结婚生子，这一努力是由外部团体推动的，这些团体专注于在多年下降后提高美国的出生率。
向白宫顾问们推销的一项此类提议是，在每位美国母亲分娩后，向她发放5000美元的“婴儿奖金”。
周二，当被问及为新妈妈提供5000美元奖励时，唐纳德·特朗普总统说:“听起来是个好主意。”。
当美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)问及政府一直在实施的提案时，白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特(Karoline Leavitt)表示，总统“自豪地实施提升美国家庭的政策”
“总统希望美国成为一个所有孩子都能安全成长并实现美国梦的国家。作为一名母亲，我为能为这样一位总统工作而感到自豪，他正在采取重大行动为下一代留下一个更好的国家。
消息人士警告说，虽然顾问们正在考虑这些想法，但特朗普尚未对任何提议做出最终决定。
一名白宫官员向ABC新闻指出了特朗普迄今为止采取的帮助家庭的政策，特别提到了他的行政命令旨在提高可获得性和可负担性进行体外受精。这位官员还告诫不要将外界的提议与白宫联系起来。
特朗普政府为促进家庭做出了重大努力，并强调需要在美国出生更多婴儿。
在竞选过程中，特朗普自诩为“体外受精之王”，今年3月，他开玩笑说他将被称为“受精总统”。
副总统J.D .万斯也一致努力鼓励人们多生孩子。在2024年的竞选活动中，万斯表示，应该扩大儿童税收抵免，并表示他希望看到每个孩子5000美元，但他指出，这需要与国会一起制定，看看它的可行性。
在1月下旬的生命游行中，万斯告诉人群，他希望“美国有更多的婴儿”，并呼吁政府尽自己的一份力量，确保家庭能够负担得起照顾孩子的费用。
“我希望我们的国家有更多快乐的孩子，我希望有渴望欢迎他们来到这个世界并渴望抚养他们的年轻漂亮的男女。我们政府的任务是让年轻的父母更容易负担得起生孩子的费用，让他们来到这个世界，并像我们所知道的那样，把他们当作幸福来欢迎。
“我们需要一种庆祝生命各个阶段的文化，一种承认并真正相信国家成功的基准不是我们的GDP数字或股票市场，而是人们是否认为他们可以在我们的国家建立繁荣健康的家庭，”他补充说。
西蒙妮·柯林斯(Simone Collins)和她的丈夫马尔科姆·柯林斯(Malcolm Collins)是亲生育主义者，他们倡导采取行动降低家庭生育孩子的难度，并最终扭转出生率和结婚率下降的趋势。西蒙妮·柯林斯告诉美国广播公司新闻，她和她的丈夫已经向白宫国内政策委员会提交了几份行政命令草案，包括向有六个或更多孩子的母亲授予“国家母亲勋章”。他们还提议，夫妻不应该因为结婚而面临税收惩罚。
她说，白宫接受命令草案，并正在审查。
然而，MomsRising首席执行官克里斯汀·罗-芬克贝内尔(Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner)的组织表示，该组织代表100多万母亲和家庭的利益，称这些项目“完全是疯狂的强制行为，适得其反，只会导致失败。”
她在一份新闻稿中说，“毫无疑问，家庭需要政策，让母亲和父母能够照顾孩子，去工作，为社区做贡献，”她认为，负担得起的儿童和老人护理，获得孕产妇医疗保健和带薪探亲假，将更好地鼓励人们建立和发展家庭。“这位总统有无数的机会来支持那些行之有效的政策，改善家庭和我们的经济，但他的政府完全没有这样做。
“据报道，特朗普政府正在考虑的提议不会为母亲、家庭和我们的经济繁荣开辟道路，”她补充说。“那些希望家庭多生孩子的人应该支持建立家庭和企业所需的护理基础设施的政策。当我们成为一个家庭友好型国家时，家庭将会有更多的孩子。”
Trump administration looking at $5,000 'baby bonus' to incentivize public to have more children
The White House has been fielding proposals aimed at persuading people to marry and have children, an effort being pushed by outside groups focused on increasing the nation's birth rate after years of decline.
One such proposal that has been pitched to White House advisers is a $5,000 "baby bonus" to every American mother after she gives birth.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," President Donald Trump said Tuesday when asked about a $5,000 incentive for new mothers.
When asked by ABC News about the proposals the administration has been fielding, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president is "proudly implementing policies to uplift American families."
"The president wants America to be a country where all children can safely grow up and achieve the American dream. As a mother myself, I am proud to work for a president who is taking significant action to leave a better country for the next generation," Leavitt said.
Sources cautioned that while advisers are considering the ideas, Trump hasn't made a final decision on any of the proposals.
A White House official pointed ABC News to the policies Trump has taken so far to help families, specifically citing his executive order aimed atincreasing access and affordabilityfor in vitro fertilization, or IVF. The official also cautioned against linking outside proposals to the White House.
The Trump administration has made a significant effort to promote families and emphasized that more babies need to be born in the United States.
On the campaign trail, Trump coined himself the "King of IVF," and in March, he joked that he would be known as the "fertilization president."
Vice President J.D. Vance has also made a concerted effort to encourage people to have more children. During the 2024 campaign, Vance said the child tax credit should be expanded, stating that he would love to see it at $5,000 per child, but he noted that it needs to be worked out with Congress to see its viability.
And at the March for Life in late January, Vance told the crowd he wanted "more babies in the United States of America" and called on the government to do its part to ensure families can afford to care for their children.
"I want more happy children in our country, and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them. And it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are," Vance said.
"We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages, one that recognizes and truly believes that the benchmark of national success is not our GDP number or our stock market but whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families in our country," he added.
Simone Collins and her husband, Malcolm Collins, are pro-natalists who have advocated actions to make it less difficult for families to have children and ultimately reverse declining birth and marriage rates. Simone Collins told ABC News that she and her husband have submitted several draft executive orders to the White House Domestic Policy Council, including bestowing a "National Medal of Motherhood" to mothers with six or more children. They also proposed that couples should not face a tax penalty for getting married.
She said the White House was receptive to the draft orders and is reviewing them.
However, MomsRising CEO Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, whose organization says it advocates on behalf of more than a million mothers and families, said the programs are "sheer lunacy -- coercive, counterproductive recipes for failure."
"There's no question that families need policies that make it possible for moms and parents to care for their kids, go to work and contribute to their communities," she said in a press release, arguing that affordable child and elder care, access to maternal health care and paid family leave would better encourage people to start and grow their families. "This president has had endless opportunities to support those tried-and-true, proven policies that lift families and our economy, but his administrations have utterly failed to do so.
"The proposals the Trump administration are reportedly considering will not open avenues for moms, families and our economy to thrive," she added. "Those who want families to have more babies should support the policies that build the care infrastructure families and businesses need. When we become a family-friendly country, families will have more children."
