If enacted, the measure could disrupt commercial habits and provoke adjustments in the daily lives of Americans.

In an unprecedented turn for American economic policy, Donald Trump has signed a presidential decree that creates a national sovereign wealth fund, a groundbreaking initiative in the United States.
