Watch | Sold 1,000 US Gold visa worth $5 million each: Top Trump aide’s big claim

“There are 37 million people in the world who are capable of buying the card…The president thinks we can sell a million,” Secretary Lutnick said while speaking on the podcast.

When Lutnick was asked who introduced the idea of gold card or “Trump Card” as it was referred to during the podcast, the commerce secretary responded saying it was President Trump’s idea, conceived during a meeting with investor John Paulson.

He said that he was taken in the loop by the president in order to figure out how to do it. “Elon Musk is building the software right now,” Lutnick added during the conversation.

During the announcement of the gold card visa, President Trump envisioned that it would attract more wealthy people to America who would want to settle in the US, generating jobs and boosting employment.

“And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card. They’ll be wealthy, and they’ll be successful, and they’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people, and we think it’s going to be extremely successful,” Trump had said, as quoted by Fox News.
