Trump orders firing of all Joe Biden-era prosecutors  - 1

US President Donald Trump said he had instructed the Justice Department to fire all remaining Joe Biden-era prosecutors, stressing that the department had been "politicized like never before", Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.

"We must immediately "clean house" and restore trust. America's golden age must have a fair justice system – IT STARTS TODAY,” Trump said in a post on the social network “Truth Social.”

Trump signed an executive order to expand access and reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF), Reuters reported.

The executive order, which directs government agencies to propose policy recommendations that protect access to IVF and reduce costs for both individuals and insurers, did not specify how the costs would be covered.

The executive order will also address current policies, including those requiring legislation, that make the treatment more expensive, the White House said.

“President Trump has pledged to promote IVF and help American families with the associated costs so that American families can have more babies, building on his past support for family formation and stability,” the White House said. home.

During his campaign, Trump said he would require the government or insurance companies to pay for IVF infertility treatment if elected.

Currently, not all states require insurance companies to cover IVF, which involves combining eggs and sperm in a laboratory to create an embryo for couples who are having difficulty conceiving. Even with insurance coverage, IVF can cost thousands of dollars in medications and medical procedures.
