The Trump administration is weighing a $5,000 “baby bonus” for new mothers as part of efforts to reverse America’s declining birth and marriage rates, according to a report by the *New York Times*.
Citing four sources involved in discussions, the report says White House aides and policy experts have been exploring a range of pro-family initiatives aimed at encouraging traditional values and increased fertility.
“One plan would give a $5,000 incentive to new moms,” the report notes. Another proposal would allocate 30% of Fulbright scholarships to married applicants or those with children.

Although no official decision has been made, sources say fertility concerns are becoming a central theme in President Trump’s domestic policy agenda.
The discussions come amid broader GOP interest in bolstering family formation, with some advisers viewing a “baby boom” as a solution to future economic and demographic challenges.
