Trump Proposes $5 Million 'Gold Card' for U.S. Citizenship
In a bold move, former U.S. President Donald Trump has floated the idea of introducing a new \"gold card\" program, costing $5 million, as a pathway to American citizenship. 💰🇺🇸
This proposed \"gold card\" aims to replace the existing EB-5 immigrant investor visa program, which has been in place since 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through foreign investments and job creation.
\"We are going to be selling a gold card,\" Trump announced to reporters, emphasizing that this new card would not only grant green card privileges but also serve as a direct route to citizenship.
The former president suggested that wealthy individuals, possibly including Russian oligarchs, could obtain these gold cards, adding, \"I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.\" 🇷🇺🤝
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick echoed Trump's sentiments, criticizing the EB-5 program as \"full of nonsense\" and expressing support for the new gold card initiative.
Stay tuned for more details, which are expected to be released in the next two weeks.
