Trump’s Praise for Russian Oligarchs Sparks Outrage
President Trump announced a new $5 million “gold card” program offering a path to U.S. citizenship for wealthy foreign investors, replacing a previous program. This initiative, revealed alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, would potentially allow Russian oligarchs to apply. Trump suggested that despite reduced wealth, many could still afford the application fee. The program’s eligibility criteria remain unclear, but the President expressed openness to Russian oligarch participation.
