US President Donald Trump announced that applications for the new Gold Card Citizenship programme would open on Wednesday afternoon, unveiling an immigration pathway he has long promoted as part of his administration's broader economic strategy.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the initiative on Friday, describing it as a fundamental shift in how America approaches legal immigration by prioritising wealthy applicants who can make substantial financial contributions to the country.
The "Gold Card" unveiled by President Trump on Wednesday offers US Citizenship to wealthy foreign nationals provided they are willing to invest USD 5 million.
