In a surprising move during his flight on Air Force One on Thursday, the U.S. President Donald Trump showed the new prototype “gold card” residency permit to reporters abroad. The price was set at $5 million each.
This new initiative, represented by a prototype card emblazoned with his image and dubbed “The Trump Card,” aims to offer a premium alternative to the traditional green card.
President Trump expressed enthusiasm about the high-value visa, indicating that it would likely become available within two weeks.
The concept targets attracting affluent job creators as a means to bolster economic growth and contribute to reducing the national deficit.
This fits within Trump’s broader immigration strategy, which prioritizes limiting undocumented migration while offering a lucrative pathway toward U.S. citizenship for wealthy investors.
Previously, Trump had hinted that the program could potentially sell around a million of these permits, leaving open the possibility for Russian oligarchs and other international elites to participate.
