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.

When he was still president-elect in December, Trump said he would consider raising the federal minimum wage. But he has made no moves to do so, and his Treasury secretary flatly said no.
