Here's something you don't see every day: Trump taking notes from Tony Blair's playbook. The former US president appears genuinely intrigued by a policy that came out of Britain's centre-left government back in the early 2000s—investment accounts specifically designed for newborns.

It's an unusual source of inspiration for someone not typically known for borrowing ideas from progressive administrations across the pond. Yet the concept of baby investment accounts, which Blair's government championed to help families build wealth from birth, seems to have caught his attention.

The policy aimed at giving every child a financial head start, creating a nest egg that would mature by the time they reached adulthood. Whether this signals a shift in Trump's approach to economic policy or just a fleeting interest remains unclear, but it's certainly a departure from his usual reference points.
