Donald Trump’s Proposal Sets Fee of R$ 27 Million for Millionaires Who Want to Live in the USA

President Donald Trump announced an unprecedented plan on Tuesday: the sale of a “gold card” for wealthy foreigners who wish to live in the USA legally.

The document will grant the right to live and work in the United States, as well as provide a pathway to citizenship, for a fee of US$ 5 million, about R$ 27 million.

“We will sell a gold card. You have a green card. This is a gold card,” Trump stated from the Oval Office. “You have a green card. This is a gold card. We will put a price on that card of around US$ 5 million and that will give you green card privileges, as well as a route to citizenship. And rich people will come to our country buying this card.”

When Does the Process Start?

According to Trump, sales will begin in about two weeks. He suggested that millions of these cards could be acquired. When asked if the card would be available to Russian oligarchs, the former president was straightforward: “Yes, possibly. I know some Russian oligarchs who are very nice people.”

Alongside Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that the “gold card” will replace the EB-5 program, created in 1992.

This program allows foreign investors to inject money into projects that create jobs in the USA and, in return, apply for immigration visas. “They will have to go through screening, of course,” Lutnick emphasized. “The idea is to ensure they are wonderful global citizens of world class.”

The EB-5 program currently requires a minimum investment of US$ 1,050,000. In economically distressed areas, the amount is US$ 800,000.

Trump-related companies and his family have already used the EB-5 to finance large real estate ventures. During Trump’s first term, the program faced criticism from lawmakers of both parties, who claimed it had deviated from its original goals.

In 2019, the Trump administration attempted to raise the minimum investment amounts to US$ 900,000 in specific areas and US$ 1.8 million in others.

However, in 2021, a federal judge overturned the decision, stating that the acting Secretary of Homeland Security, who authorized the measure, had not been properly appointed.

The EB-5 program was renewed in 2022, under the Biden administration, with the minimum requirements adjusted to current values.

When Does the Process Start?

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Almost no ship sails directly between South America and Australia, and the reason is a combination of the vast distance, winds that circle the planet nonstop, and the absence of ports along the way, leaving the South Pacific as a water desert.

More than 85 million homes in China heat water for free with vacuum glass tubes invented at a Chinese university, a cheap technology with no moving parts that faces certification rules and codes in the United States, making installation too expensive.

In a boat just 1.19 meters long, smaller than many kayaks, Briton Andrew Bedwell wants to cross nearly 3,000 kilometers of the North Atlantic alone and spend more than two months without being able to lie down or stand up, all to break a record and honor cancer victims.

While most dealerships in Brazil take days to deliver cars, in Germany two 48-meter glass towers hold 800 vehicles and release each model via automatic elevators in a few seconds.

In Japan, a 40 by 60-meter concrete museum without pillars rises like a floating drop, allowing wind, light, and rain inside the space and surprising architects and engineers with the delicacy of the structure.
