Trump announces the launch of the 'Trump gold card'

The Trump Gold Card offers a $1 million fast-track visa enabling vetted foreign nationals a quicker path to U.S. citizenship, raising billions for the government, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced the launch of the Trump Gold Card, with the White House beginning online applications that went live within 30 minutes.
  • By setting higher financial thresholds, officials aim to secure large contributions for the U.S. Treasury, and the administration says the program helps U.S. companies retain foreign students and foreign graduates.
  • Individuals can obtain the Gold Card for $1 million while corporations pay $2 million, plus a $15,000 Department of Homeland Security processing fee; corporate cards carry a 5% transfer and 1% annual maintenance fee.
  • The plan immediately drew criticism from within President Donald Trump's own base, with supporters furious and critics warning bad actors could exploit the program despite background vetting and revocation provisions.
  • The rollout arrives as visa processing and recruitment challenges have already reduced new international student flows, with new foreign students falling 17% this year and overall international enrollment down 1%, the Institute of International Education reported.
