President Donald Trump has launched the Trump Gold Card, a new fast-tracked immigration scheme offering US visas to wealthy foreigners willing to pay at least $1 million. This initiative aims to attract "productive" individuals and allow American Companies to retain invaluable talent.

• The base fee for the Trump Gold Card is $1 million (£750,000), with businesses sponsoring employees paying $2 million, and a platinum version offering tax breaks for $5 million.
• President Donald Trump announced the scheme, noting it provides a "direct path to Citizenship for all qualified and vetted people."
• Applicants must also pay a non-refundable $15,000 processing fee, and the scheme has faced criticism from Democrats for favoring wealthy individuals.
