President Donald Trump of the United States has unveiled the first gold card, a residency permit sold for $5 million each.
Trump, while holding a prototype that bore his face and an inscription ‘The Trump Card', said that the special visa would probably be available in less than two weeks.
“I’m the first buyer. Pretty exciting, huh,” he said.
The president previously said that sales of the new visa, a high-price version of the traditional green card, would bring in job creators and could be used to reduce the US national deficit.
The Republican, who has made the deportation of millions of undocumented migrants a priority for his second term, said the new card would be a route to highly prized US citizenship.
According to him, in February his administration hoped to sell maybe a million of the cards and did not rule out that Russian oligarchs may be eligible.
