US President Donald Trump is planning to sell American citizenship for $5m with the hope that it can generate up to $50 trillion.
While signing executive orders Tuesday Mr. Trump said the famous US green card will now be known as the gold card, which can be purchased with $5m.
“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 approximately $5 million and that’s going to give you green card privileges plus.
“It’s going to be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.”
According to Trump, the goal is to sell as many as one million of the cards, equating to $5 trillion, to applicants who would be vetted “very carefully.”
“If you sell 10 million of the cards, that’s a total of $50 trillion. We have $35 trillion in debt. That would be nice,” Trump added.
