Trump launched ‘Fostering the Future Together’ at the UN, a global coalition to promote children’s safety, education, innovation and technology. First Lady Melania Trump delivered a call to action at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to protect children as technology advances. Trump unveiled her new initiative ‘Fostering the Future Together’ in her remarks, a global coalition of nations dedicated to advancing children’s well-being in the digital era through education, innovation and technology. Opening in a moment of reflection, the first lady urged leaders to see childhood imagination not as trivial, but as a rehearsal for innovation later in life. She cited examples like playing marbles, flying paper airplanes and running with a kite string as foundations for future technological breakthroughs. Trump expressed her appreciation for technology, acknowledging its life-saving potential, expanded knowledge access and ability to connect people. However, she emphasized that safety must come first, as technology evolves at a pace that outpaces lawmaking. The first lady’s initiative calls for identifying simple solutions to protect children’s ingenuity. She described the coalition’s mission as ensuring that every child can flourish in the digital era and called on spouses or equivalents of heads of government to lead programs in their countries, with the first meeting to be hosted at the White House in the first quarter of 2026. According to a news release, the coalition will work with the private sector to expand children’s access to innovative education technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and blockchain, while exchanging best practices about AI’s advantages and risks. Trump urged safety above all in her new coalition, stating that nothing comes before safety. She called for safeguarding healthy environments for children, protecting their personal freedom, confidence and motivation. The announcement builds on the first lady’s long-standing focus on children’s health, safety and opportunity, now elevated to the global stage.
