• A viral video falsely claims President Trump raised the minimum wage to $25 an hour.
• Trump has not raised the minimum wage and actually revoked a Biden-era executive order that increased the minimum wage for federal contractors.
• The federal minimum wage remains $7.25 an hour, while some states have higher minimums.

A video on social media falsely claims President Trump is raising the minimum wage to $25 an hour.

"President Trump has just signed a groundbreaking law that will change the lives of millions," a woman's voice on the video says. "Starting the 15th of April, in a completely unexpected move, Trump approved the largest minimum wage in U.S. history."

The video says that no American worker will be allowed to earn less than $25 an hour, but according to the Trump Administration, this is not true. Since 2009, the national minimum wage has remained at $7.25 an hour, though most states have higher limits, and there have been no moves by Trump to change this.
