US President Donald Trump is set to sign a memorandum on May 5, 2026, to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test Award for students, as part of a broader initiative to revamp US public health policies. This action follows an executive order signed in July 2025 that re-established a presidential fitness test in public schools, reviving a program first introduced decades ago but discontinued by former President Barack Obama, who replaced performance-based standards with health-focused assessments. Trump's controversial "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, spearheaded by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., includes promoting saturated fats, expressing vaccine skepticism, and implementing new nutrition guidelines favoring animal-based protein. Additionally, Trump signed a bill earlier in 2026 allowing schools to serve whole milk.
