Trump Signs Executive Order Creating Women's Health Task Force and Division, Backed by First Lady

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order directing the federal government to expand research into women's health, creating a White House Women's Health Task Force and a new Women's Health Division. The order was signed in Washington. The division is to be set up at the National Institutes of Health, and the task force is to be led by White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The research is meant to cover women's health through all stages of their lives. The initiative was pushed by first lady Melania Trump, who said that beginning today, the reality of women's health would change.

The alternative source, AP, leads with the president's directive to boost research across women's lives and notes the first lady's role. Left-leaning outlets focus on the institutional structure, with NBC naming the division at the NIH and the task force leaders, while The Washington Post highlights the first lady's backing. The right-leaning Daily Wire frames it as a joint effort by the president and first lady and features Melania Trump's own promise. All sides agree on the order, its date and the first lady's role.
