US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the United States will introduce a “Gold Card” programme for wealthy foreigners, granting them the right to live and work in the country, with a pathway to citizenship, in exchange for a USD 5 million fee

The CNN report, citing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, stated that the Gold Card will replace the existing EB-5 immigrant investor visa program.

“They’ll have to go through vetting, of course,” the CNN report quoted Lutnick as saying. “To make sure they’re wonderful, world-class global citizens,” he added.

Trump made the announcement during a media availability in the Oval Office, where he also signed an executive action investigating the copper industry and answered questions on various topics.

He said that sales of the Gold Cards would begin in about two weeks and suggested that millions could be sold. “From a legal standpoint, it’s totally legal to do,” he said.

When asked if Russian oligarchs would be eligible to buy the cards, Trump responded, “Yeah, possibly. I know some Russian oligarchs who are very nice people.”

During the event, Trump also admired a map of the newly renamed ‘Gulf of America’ and said, “I’m just admiring it as I look at it. I’m getting teary-eyed — but I don’t want you to say, ‘Trump broke down and started crying.’”

Continuing his remarks, Trump criticized the Associated Press, calling it “radical left.”

“I think they’re radical left. I think they’re third-rate reporters… They don’t treat us fairly,” he said.

Earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the administration’s stance on the Associated Press, asserting that questioning the US President is a privilege, not a legal right.

During the briefing, Trump was seen distributing pamphlets that read, “Trump was right about everything.”

“Look. You see that? Trump was right about everything… Would anybody like one?” he said.
