Donald Trump said Russian oligarchs would “possibly” be able to apply for a $5 million “gold card” via a new scheme that grants a pathway to American citizenship to wealthy foreigners.
He announced that the Gold Card will be “somewhat like a Green Card, but at a higher level of sophistication”.
Trump continued: “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 and that’s going to give you Green Card privileges, plus it’s going to be a route to citizenship,” he shared. “And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.”
“They’ll be wealthy and they’ll be successful and they’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people. And we think it’s going to be extremely successful and never been done before.”
Trump said the Gold Cards will launch in around two weeks, and expect millions to be sold.
One reporter had a question about Russian oligarchs.
