Trumps Gold Card: Nur ein einziges Exemplar verkauft
Die US-Regierung hat bislang lediglich eine einzige »Gold Card« für reiche Einwanderer verkauft – obwohl Handelsminister Howard Lutnick nach dem Start im Dezember 2025 noch Einnahmen von 1,3 Milliarden Dollar innerhalb weniger Tage vermeldet hatte. Das Programm zum Preis von einer Million Dollar sollte ursprünglich eine Billion Dollar einnehmen, um den Haushalt auszugleichen. Die USA haben öffentliche Schulden von 31,3 Billionen Dollar.

Trump's $1 Million Gold Card Visa Approves First Applicant Amid Discrepancy Questions
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testified Thursday that only one person has been approved for Trump's $1 million gold card visa program, appearing to contradict his earlier claim of $1.3 billion in sales shortly after the December launch. The program, meant to replace the EB-5 investor visa, requires applicants to pay $1 million plus a $15,000 vetting fee, with corporations able to sponsor foreign employees for $2 million plus annual fees. Lutnick previously said the program would raise $1 trillion to help balance the budget, while the U.S. debt stands at $31.3 trillion with a $2 trillion annual deficit.
