The United States will sell wealthy foreigners so-called "golden cards," which allow them to live and work in the United States and pave the way for American citizenship. President Donald Trump said this in a conversation with reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, February 25. According to him, the price of the "golden card" is about 5 million US dollars.

"We are going to sell the gold card," CNN quotes the head of state as saying on its website. "You have a green card. And this is a gold card. We will value this card at about 5 million dollars, and it will give you the benefits of a green card, plus an easy way to obtain citizenship. Rich people will come to our country and buy this card.”
