Trump emphasised the gold card will be a "fantastic thing" and "we're going to take that money and we're going to reduce taxes, we're going to reduce debt"
"To apply, an applicant must pay a nonrefundable processing fee. Once an applicant's processing fee is received, the process for visa adjudication will take place, assuming applicants submit additional documents in a timely manner," the official website of the programme said
The website said that if approved, an individual "must make a gift of USD 1 million, which has been determined to provide sufficient evidence that the individual will substantially benefit the United States"
The applicants must be "eligible for lawful permanent resident status, admissible to the United States, and a visa must be available," the website added
