They are calling it the “Trump Card.”
Foreigners seeking to live in the U.S. can pay $5 million for a “Trump Card” that will let the person know when they can sign up to receive a fast pass to become a U.S citizen.
President Donald Trump announced the program and website Wednesday night on X.
“FOR FIVE MILLION $DOLLARS, THE TRUMP CARD IS COMING! Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the Greatest Country and Market anywhere in the World. It’s called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! THE WAITING LIST IS NOW OPEN. To sign up, go to – TRUMPCARD.GOV,” the post read.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick spoke about the card last month when he was a guest at an Axios event, Building the Future. He said the Trump Card website would be available in a week.
“The details of that will come soon after, but people can start to register. And all that will come over a matter of the next weeks — not months, weeks,” Lutnick said.
He said the $5 million price tag would help reduce the debt in the U.S.
“Why wouldn’t they want a plan B that says God forbid something bad happens, you come to the airport in America and the person in immigration says, ‘Welcome home.’ Right? As opposed to, ‘Where the heck am I going if something bad’s happening in my country,’” Lutnick said.
He said people applying for a card will be vetted and will bring in “great people who are going to come and bring businesses and opportunity to America. And they’re going to pay $5 million.”
Lutnick reiterated to Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier in February that this is good for the U.S.
“These are vetted people,” Lutnick told Baier. “These are going to be great global citizens who are going to bring entrepreneurial spirit, capacity and growth to America. If one of them comes in, think of the jobs they are going to bring with them, the businesses they are going to bring with them. And they are going to pay American taxes as well. So, this is huge money for America.”
