A Pricey Path to Residency: Trump Administration Unveils $1M Gold Card Visa

  The Trump administration has announced the launch of a new immigration initiative dubbed the Gold Card Visa , a program that grants residency to foreign nationals willing to invest $1 million. Marketed as a fast-track entry into the United States, the visa is designed to attract wealthy investors and entrepreneurs seeking long-term opportunities in the country. Officials describe the program as a way to boost economic growth by channeling foreign capital into American businesses and infrastructure. Critics, however, argue that the policy favors the ultra-rich while sidelining skilled workers and families who lack the financial means to participate. The Gold Card Visa is expected to generate debate over the balance between economic incentives and equitable access to immigration. Supporters see it as a pragmatic move to secure investment, while opponents warn it could deepen inequality in the immigration system.

US, Colombia Reach Agreement on Deportations; Tariffs and Sanctions Suspended

 

The United States and Colombia have reached a significant agreement regarding deportations, averting a potential trade war. The White House announced on Sunday that Colombia agreed to accept deported migrants on U.S. military aircraft, reversing its earlier refusal. In response, the U.S. has decided to hold off on imposing threatened tariffs and sanctions.

President Donald Trump had initially threatened 25% tariffs on Colombian goods and other sanctions after Colombia declined to accept deportation flights. However, Colombian President Gustavo Petro agreed to accept the migrants, ensuring that the tariffs and sanctions will remain on hold.

Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo stated, "We have overcome the impasse with the U.S. government. The Colombian government has also prepared the presidential plane to facilitate the return of deported Colombians.

The agreement highlights the importance of cooperation between the two nations, with Colombia being the third-largest U.S. trading partner in Latin America. The U.S. is Colombia's largest trading partner, with a significant trade relationship established by a 2006 free trade agreement.

The White House emphasized that this agreement demonstrates America's respected position on the global stage and expects other nations to cooperate in accepting deported citizens.
