President Donald Trump is set to sign bipartisan legislation on Wednesday, Jan. 14, to allow the nation’s schools to offer whole milk and 2% milk, reversing Obama-era restrictions that limited options for students to fat-free or low-fat milk.

Several members of Congress and milk advocates will join Trump in the Oval Office for a 2 p.m. ET signing ceremony for the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which passed both legislative chambers unanimously in late 2025.

The White House confirmed the signing exclusively to USA TODAY. Trump’s signature comes after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Jan. 7 released new dietary guidelines that flip the traditional food pyramid to emphasize full-fat dairy, protein and "healthy fats." Kennedy, announcing the changes, declared, "We are ending the war on saturated fats."
