We’re going to be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We’re going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million.
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced on Tuesday that he intends to sell new residency permits known as “gold cards” at a price of $5 million each.
He also stated that Russian oligarchs may be eligible for these licenses.
According to Trump, the sale of the new visa, which is a more expensive version of the standard green card, would attract people who would create jobs and could be used to lower the national deficit in the United States.
President Trump, who has made the deportation of millions of undocumented migrants a priority during his second term in office, stated that the new card will be a path to citizenship in the United States, which is highly coveted.
Trump stated, “We’re going to be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We’re going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million.
“A lot of people are going to want to be in this country, and they’ll be able to work and provide jobs and build companies.
“It’ll be people with money. We’ll be able to sell maybe a million of these cards. We have it all worked out from a legal standpoint.”
He stated that all applicants for the new gold credentials would undergo a meticulous vetting process.
However, when approached about the likelihood of wealthy Russians being able to apply, Trump acknowledged that it was a possibility.
“Possibly. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people. It’s possible. They’re not as wealthy as they used to be. I think they can. I think they can afford $5 million.”
