(VitalNews.org) – In his biggest announcement this week, President Donald Trump has taken a bold step in establishing a US sovereign wealth fund.

This unprecedented move aims to drive economic stability and enhance national prosperity while asserting global leadership.

On February 3, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order ushering in the creation of a US sovereign wealth fund.

The initiative seeks to redirect surplus revenues and federal asset profits into a strategically managed investment fund, potentially used for significant acquisitions like TikTok.

The fund would require Congressional approval but operate independently from traditional entities such as the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department.

Currently, over 100 nations and numerous US states, including Alaska, utilize such funds to solidify economic strategies.

This initiative demonstrates Trump’s intent for the US to possess a powerful economic tool akin to Saudi Arabia’s renowned sovereign fund.

Despite facing national debt challenges, Trump envisions a fund that could rival those of other major economic players.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick spearhead the fund’s creation, with a goal to establish it within 12 months.

Bessent confidently noted, “We’re going to stand this thing up within the next 12 months. We’re going to monetize the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet for the American people.”

Trump believes the fund could ultimately hold a significant stake in TikTok, challenging China’s ByteDance’s current ownership.

The idea of establishing a sovereign wealth fund was also considered by the previous Biden administration for infrastructure and manufacturing purposes.

This bipartisan interest highlights the fund’s importance and potential for success.

Still, necessity dictates creative financing, as sovereign funds typically rely on budgetary surpluses—something the US currently lacks.

Trump’s vision extends to infrastructure and development, consolidating US influence in strategic regions like Panama and Greenland.

Critics voice concerns over potential conflicts due to a lack of transparency, but Trump assures there’s “tremendous potential” in building a wealth generator of such magnitude.

“The extraordinary size and scale of the U.S government and the business it does with companies should create value for American citizens,” Lutnick said, cited by Yahoo Finance.

While critics warn against transparency pitfalls, supporters view the fund as a vehicle for securing the nation’s economic future.

The message is clear: The US is setting the stage to become a formidable sovereign fund leader, redefining the global playing field and ensuring prosperity for future generations.
