Trump signs executive order on retirement security

Behind the surge in seniors filing for bankruptcy

President Trump is in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Friday to sign an executive order aimed at making it easier for small businesses to join together to provide their workers with retirement plans.

Pooling together 401(k) plans will make it cheaper for small businesses to offer retirement savings options to employees, according to administration officials.

Mr. Trump is expected to sign the order and make remarks at the Harris Conference Center on Friday afternoon.

Later, he is expected to headline a fundraiser for Republican congressional candidates Mark Harris and Rep. Todd Budd. Both Harris and Budd have been out-raised by their Democratic opponents.
