US EditionTrump announces the launch of the 'Trump gold card'
The program offers expedited U.S. residency for $1 million, with over 10,000 pre-registrations reported, aiming to generate billions and help retain top foreign talent.
- 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.
