Trump signs Executive Order protecting IVF access and lowers costs

Published

Inspired by an Alabama ruling, President Trump takes action to support families seeking fertility treatments.

President Donald Trump has followed through on a campaign promise, signing an executive order aimed at protecting access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and reducing associated costs.

The directive instructs federal agencies to develop policies that make fertility treatments more affordable, easing both out-of-pocket expenses and health plan costs for hopeful parents.

The decision was not just a policy move for Trump—it was personal, influenced in large part by U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery).

In February 2024, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created through IVF should be legally recognized as children, prompting several fertility clinics, including those affiliated with the UAB Health System, to suspend services due to legal concerns.

Britt, an outspoken advocate for IVF access, quickly took action, arguing that supporting life and ensuring fertility services should go hand in hand.

Trump recalled a conversation with Britt following the ruling, saying, “After about five minutes, I said, ‘That’s a great thing.’”

With today’s executive order, he has made protecting IVF access a national priority. Following the signing, Britt expressed her gratitude, calling it “yet another promise kept.”

“IVF is profoundly pro-family,” Britt stated, “and I’m proud to work with President Trump on ensuring more loving parents can start and grow their families.”

The move is expected to provide relief to countless families struggling with fertility challenges across the country.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.


U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.

The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.

Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.

Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.

While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.


A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.

Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.

Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
