Trump: "For $5 million, this could be yours"
Trump was previously asked by reporters about the "historic tariffs" he imposed.
At a certain point, Trump pulled out his "gold card" immigration plan, which, as he previously announced, he intends to sell for five million dollars (over seven million CAD).
"For $5 million, this could be yours," he said to the journalists.
According to him, this card will offer wealthy buyers permanent residency in the USA and a pathway to citizenship.
The "gold card" program. Even for Russian oligarchs?
Towards the end of February, Trump announced that the "gold card" program would be implemented in mid-March. At that time, he did not rule out that the right to purchase "gold cards" could also apply to Russian oligarchs.
"Hey, I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people," he stated. "They are not as wealthy as they used to be; I think they can afford $5 million." He emphasized that the program is designed to attract investors who will contribute to the country's economic growth.
