Trump Proposes $5 Million ‘Gold Card’ Green Cards to Chip Away at National Debt

Published: 02-27-2025, 05:50 pm | Updated: 02-27-2025, 10:01 am

President Trump has proposed a “gold card” program offering permanent U.S. residency to wealthy foreign individuals and companies willing to pay $5 million.

Trump claims selling a million cards could generate $5 trillion toward reducing the national debt. The plan would replace or supplement the existing EB-5 program, which currently grants green cards for investments of $800,000 to $1.1 million.

Immigration experts have expressed mixed reactions – attorney Reaz Jafri reports immediate interest from clients but doubts the program will attract enough participants to meaningfully reduce the national debt. Armand Arton of Arton Capital called it a “fantastic initiative” but challenged Trump’s projection of millions of applicants, citing potential U.S. tax implications for ultra-wealthy investors. Experts also worry about the fate of thousands currently in the EB-5 application pipeline, which has successfully funded major projects like New York’s Ritz Carlton Hotel and Barclays Center by requiring each investment to generate at least 10 jobs.

The same week, the World Gold Council reported a record 45% of central banks plan to add gold. The headwinds are real. So is the floor.

Silver Hit $69.85 This Morning. Then the FOMC Took It All Back.

Silver climbed 2.8% on the Iran peace deal this morning, then gave it all back as the FOMC’s rate-hike signal reasserted itself. Gold barely moved. The gap between the two metals today shows exactly why silver behaves differently — and what physical holders need to understand about both forces.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
