Trump is announcing a scheme to allow wealthy people to buy citizenship in the U.S. "President Donald Trump announced a new visa program for investors coming to the United States on Tuesday that would cost applicants $5 million. Trump, touting the project as a "Gold Card" program mimicking the Green Cards permanent residents get, told reporters in the Oval Office that it would be up and running in two weeks." Every corrupt official and organized criminal in the world is going to be jumping on this. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-gold-card-visa-announcement-eb5-replacement-2036226

Perhaps the most intriguing part of this proposal is that gold card holders only pay tax on US sourced income, or so Trump claims, unclear how that would work
