In 2024, U.S. fertility rates fell below 1.6 children per woman, mirroring trends in Western Europe, despite measures like in vitro fertilization access. Population grows due to births outnumbering deaths, signaling ongoing demographic shifts.

US Fertility Rates Drop to Historic Lows in 2024

The U.S. saw a dramatic fertility rate drop in 2024, with less than 1.6 children per woman. Despite federal incentives, the trend aligns with global patterns of delayed fertility, continuing while births still outpace deaths.

US Fertility Rates Reach Historic Lows

U.S. fertility rates reach historic lows in 2024, with fewer than 1.6 children per woman. Despite federal measures, experts indicate the decline follows global trends. The population continues growing, with births outpacing deaths.

&nbsp;
New York, Jul 24 (AP) - In 2024, the United States experienced a historic drop in fertility rates, reaching an unprecedented low of fewer than 1.6 children per woman, according to new federal data released on Thursday. This represents a stark contrast to previous decades when the U.S. was one of the few developed countries maintaining a replacement level fertility rate &mdash; around 2.1 children per woman. However, for nearly twenty years, this rate has been steadily declining as many women choose to delay having children or opt not to have them at all.
The latest figures align the U.S. with fertility trends seen in Western European countries, as reported by World Bank data. Concerned by this downward trend, the Trump administration undertook measures to counteract falling birth rates. Examples include issuing an executive order to broaden access and reduce costs for in vitro fertilization and promoting "baby bonuses" to incentivize childbirth.
However, Leslie Root, a fertility and population policy researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder, advises that there's no cause for alarm. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s part of a broader trend of delayed fertility. Despite this, the U.S. population continues to grow, with births outnumbering deaths,&rdquo; she noted.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unveiled these fertility rate statistics alongside updated birth data for 2024. In the early 1960s, the fertility rate hovered around 3.5, sharply decreasing to 1.7 by 1976 after the Baby Boom era. It climbed back to 2.1 in 2007 but subsequently declined, excluding a slight increase in 2014. According to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, the rate was 1.621 in 2023 and marginally declined to 1.599 in 2024.
Birth rates are generally weakening across most age groups, which is unlikely to shift in the near term, according to Karen Guzzo, director of the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina. Factors such as delayed marriages and concerns over financial stability, health insurance, and resources impact decisions about raising children. &ldquo;Uncertainty isn't conducive to having kids,&rdquo; she emphasized, explaining why birth rates remain low.
Addressing birth-promoting initiatives by the Trump administration, Guzzo pointed out that they fail to address broader issues like parental leave and affordable childcare. &ldquo;The measures they're enacting are largely symbolic and unlikely to make a meaningful impact for most Americans,&rdquo; she asserted.
Recent data from the CDC showed a 1% rise in the number of births last year compared to the previous year &mdash; approximately 33,000 more births &mdash; bringing the annual total to just over 3.6 million. However, earlier provisional data had reflected an increase in birth rates for women in their late 20s and 30s while the new report showed declines for women in their 20s and early 30s, and no change for women in their late 30s.
CDC officials explained this discrepancy as a result of recalculations due to changes in U.S. Census population estimates, which affected the birth rate calculations. Leslie Root found this plausible, noting that increased immigration expanded the proportion of women of childbearing age, offsetting minor increases in births within these age groups.&nbsp;

President Trump criticizes Fed Chair Powell, focusing on interest rates and renovation costs, raising concerns about potential impacts on Fed independence.

Trump to Visit Fed Amid Criticism of Powell's Leadership

Amid escalating tensions, Trump criticizes Fed Chair Powell's management of interest rates and renovation costs, inviting scrutiny over the Fed's independence ahead of a crucial Washington visit.

Trump Challenges Powell Over Federal Reserve Issues

President Trump plans to visit the Federal Reserve to address concerns over Fed Chair Powell, mostly due to interest rates and costly renovations. This visit highlights tensions and potential risks to Fed independence if Powell's dismissal is pursued.

Washington, Jul 24 (AP) &mdash; President Donald Trump is set to visit the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington this Thursday, a week following his suggestion that Fed Chair Jerome Powell's management of a large-scale renovation project at two of the Fed's buildings could justify his dismissal.
For several months, Trump has been expressing his dissatisfaction with Powell, due to the Fed maintaining the short-term interest rate under his leadership at 4.3 percent this year. This comes after the rate was cut three times the previous year. Powell maintains that the Federal Reserve aims to gauge the economic impact of Trump's extensive tariffs on imports, which he believes could trigger inflation.
Trump's frustration with Powell's cautious approach has intensified, prompting his insistence on the Fed to lower borrowing costs to boost economic growth and decrease the interest payments on federal debts.
The Federal Reserve has been undertaking renovations on its Washington headquarters as well as an adjacent building. The project's expenses have significantly increased to approximately USD 2.5 billion from an initial estimate of USD 1.9 billion. The reasons for the rise include underground construction activities and soaring building material costs following the inflation surge in 2021 and 2022.
In a response to a query last week, Trump stated that the extravagant renovation spending could indeed be a valid reason for dismissing Powell, saying, &ldquo;I think it is.&rdquo; He further commented, &ldquo;When you spend USD 2.5 billion on, really, a renovation, I think it's really disgraceful.&rdquo;
Ousting Powell could potentially jeopardize the independence of the Federal Reserve, a principle widely endorsed by economists and investors on Wall Street. (AP) GRS GRS

Ex-Governor John Rowland of Connecticut, once a rising political star, receives a pardon from President Trump, years after a corruption scandal led to prison.

Ex-Connecticut Gov. John Rowland, who resigned amid a corruption scandal, pardoned by Trump

Former Connecticut Governor John Rowland, a prominent Republican figure, receives a pardon from President Trump following a past corruption conviction.

President Trump pardons former Connecticut Governor John Rowland, who served prison time for a corruption scandal during his tenure.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) &mdash; Former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland, whose promising political career was upended by a corruption scandal and two federal prison stints, has been pardoned by President Donald Trump.
The Republican governor, who served from 1995 until 2004, was among a number of prominent figures the Republican president granted clemency Wednesday, including former New York Congressman Michael Grimm, also a Republican, and reality TV stars Julie and Todd Chrisley.
A White House official confirmed the pardon but spoke only on background to discuss matters that have not yet been made public.
&ldquo;I am very humbled and deeply appreciative,&rdquo; Rowland said in a statement to WTNH and other news outlets in Connecticut.
&ldquo;This is a wonderful final resolution.&rdquo; Once the nation&rsquo;s youngest governor, Rowland was elected three times to the state&rsquo;s highest office before resigning at the age of 47 amid a federal corruption investigation into gifts and favors that he accepted from state contractors and a growing move by state legislators to impeach him from office.
Rowland served 10 months in a federal prison camp after pleading guilty in 2004 to one count of conspiracy to steal honest services.

Post-Kashmir attack, tensions rise between India and Pakistan. US backs India, urging diplomacy. China supports Pakistan's investigation call.

US urges India, Pak to work towards 'responsible solution' after Pahalgam attack

Following the Kashmir attack, India and Pakistan face heightened tensions. The US supports India, calling for diplomatic resolution, while China backs Pakistan's call for an investigation.

The State Department spokesperson also said Washington "stands with India and strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Pahalgam," reiterating comments similar to recent ones made by President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance

The U.S. State Department said on Sunday (April 27, 2025), Washington was in touch with both India and Pakistan while urging them to work towards what it called a &ldquo;responsible solution&rdquo; as tensions have risen between the two nations following a recent terrorist attack in Kashmir&rsquo;s Pahalgam.
Following the dastardly attack, India announced a diplomatic offensive against Pakistan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowing to identify, track, and punish the terrorists and conspirators behind the attack.
Pakistan responded with tit-for-tat moves and called for an independent investigation while its minister openly issued threats to India.
Given the ongoing tensions, the US has urged both countries to "work towards a responsible resolution".
"This is an evolving situation, and we are monitoring developments closely," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement to news agency Reuters.
&nbsp;
"The United States encourages all parties to work together towards a responsible resolution.
" The spokesperson reiterated US condemnation of the attack, saying Washington "stands with India," echoing similar remarks from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Washington views New Delhi as a key partner in its efforts to counter China's growing influence in Asia.
Although Pakistan remains a US ally, its strategic importance has lessened following the 2021 American withdrawal from Afghanistan. Meanwhile, China on Sunday backed Pakistan&rsquo;s call for an &ldquo;impartial probe&rdquo; into India&rsquo;s allegations.
Beijing&rsquo;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it supports a neutral investigation, following a call between Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Islamabad proposed that an investigative team could include experts from China, Russia, or Western countries.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also said his government is open to participating in any neutral enquiry into the Pahalgam attack.
The attack, the deadliest in Kashmir since Pulwama in 2019, was claimed by The Resistance Front, a proxy for the banned Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The government released pictures of the three gunmen who opened fire on unarmed tourists in the scenic Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam.
India also launched a series of diplomatic and security measures, including suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, shutting down the Integrated Check Post at Attari to halt overland trade, and suspending the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme for Pakistani nationals, giving those in India 40 hours to leave.
Both countries have also scaled back staff at their respective High Commissions.
Indian officials defended the moves as necessary and proportionate. Pakistan, however, dismissed the accusations as "frivolous" and warned of reprisals if India takes further steps.

President Trump warns Iran of possible bombing and sanctions if the nuclear deal isn't accepted. Iran rejects direct talks but opens the door for indirect negotiations. Tensions rise as the US seeks to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Trump-threatens-iran-with-bombing-tariffs-if-nuclear-deal-not-reached

US President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened Iran with "possible bombing" as well as the imposition of secondary tariffs on the Islamic Republic if they do not comply with the nuclear deal proposed by the US.

Trump's Bomb Warning to Iran Over Nuclear Deal

Trump warns of bombing if Iran rejects US nuclear deal within weeks. Iran open to indirect talks.

US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, threatening "possible bombing" and the imposition of secondary tariffs if the nation fails to agree to a nuclear deal proposed by the US. During an interview with NBC News, Trump indicated that Iran has a couple of weeks to comply, otherwise facing severe consequences. "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing like they've never seen before," Trump asserted, emphasizing the potential for secondary tariffs if progress isn't made. Despite the tough rhetoric, Trump added a hopeful note, suggesting he prefers a peaceful resolution and envisages a "great, long, and successful life" for Iran, should they accept the agreement. "I would prefer a deal to the alternative, which everyone knows would not be pretty," he remarked. In contrast, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Iran has rejected the prospect of direct talks with the US, though leaving the door open for indirect negotiations, as reported by Politico. The tension between the two nations has escalated since Trump resumed office, largely due to his administration's stance against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump's prior term saw the US's withdrawal from a collective 2015 nuclear agreement, which also involved several major world powers, citing non-compliance by Tehran.

Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said the shooting appeared to be random, with the shooter driving up to the park, walking to the splash pad and firing as many as 28 times, stopping multiple times to reload.

2 kids among 9 injured as shooter opens fire at water park in US

Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said the shooting appeared to be random, with the shooter driving up to the park, walking to the splash pad and firing as many as 28 times, stopping multiple times to reload.

Nine people were injured after a shooter opened fire at a splash pad in a Detroit suburb where families gathered to escape the summer heat Saturday, authorities said. Law enforcement tracked a suspect to a home, where the person died by suicide.
At least two of the victims were children, officials said. Authorities initially said they believed as many as 10 people had gunshot wounds from the shooting in Rochester Hills, but that number was lowered later on after they checked with area hospitals.
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said a suspect was contained in a home nearby, and law enforcement had it surrounded. Rochester police announced Saturday night that the person took their own life.
The shooting happened just after 5 p.m. at a city park featuring a recreation area with a non-slip surface where people can turn on sprays and fountains of water to play in. Bouchard said it the shooting appeared to be random, with the shooter driving up to the park, walking to the splash pad and firing as many as 28 times, stopping multiple times to reload.
A handgun and three empty magazines were recovered, the sheriff said.
Police cordoned off the scene of the shooting with tape, and dozens of yellow evidence markers lay on on the ground among colorful folding chairs.
In a social media post, authorities said there was still an active crime scene and asked people to avoid the area. Bouchard said it was safe for those sheltering in the park to head home.
It was not immediately clear if other people or weapons were inside the home with the possible suspect, Bouchard said, and law enforcement officials were trying to make contact with him.
The victims were taken to hospitals, and their conditions were not immediately known.
Police heard the 911 call reporting the shooting as it came in, Bouchard said, because the agency uses a service that simultaneously sends emergency calls to first responders. An officer was at the scene within two minutes, he said.
Rochester Hills is about 15 miles (24 kilometers) south of Oxford, where in 2021 a 15-year-old fatally shot four high school students.
Saturday's shooting came at the end of the first full week of summer vacation for students attending Rochester Community schools.
Bouchard called it &ldquo;a gut punch&rdquo; for the county.
&ldquo;We've gone through so many tragedies,&rdquo; the sheriff said. &ldquo;You know, we're not even fully comprehending what happened at Oxford. And, you know, now we have another complete tragedy that we're dealing with.&rdquo; Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said on the social platform X that she was heartbroken to learn of the shooting and was in touch with local officials.
