Trump Announces New U.S. Visa Program for Wealthy Foreigners

Key Points:

  • President Trump introduces the “Gold Card” visa program for affluent foreigners with tremendous monetary contributions.
  • Program aims to boost U.S. revenue through significant financial gifts to the Treasury.
  • No direct link to cryptocurrencies reported in official channels.

On September 19, President Donald Trump announced the “Gold Card,” a new U.S. visa program offering expedited residency for high-net-worth individuals contributing financially to the nation.

This initiative highlights policy shifts in U.S. immigration, targeting wealthy foreigners and promising substantial revenue gains, yet raises questions about potential economic and security impacts.
