Melania Trump declares 'the moment is now' for new global children's initiative at UNFox News, Sep 23, 2025
First lady Melania Trump used the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) stage Tuesday to deliver a warning and a call to action: Children must be protected as technology races ahead.
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.
The first lady said the coalition’s mission is "to ensure that every child can flourish in the digital era." She called on spouses or equivalents of heads of government to lead programs in their own countries and confirmed the first meeting will 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 also exchanging best practices about AI’s advantages and risks.
Issuing a call to action, Trump added, "The moment is now. Please join me to foster the future together. Work with me to empower children to achieve new heights across our planet."
