Trump news at a glance: president really wants his face on US money before he’s dead
The Trump administration is advocating for a new $250 bill featuring Donald Trump's portrait, which would require a change in federal law. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the bill is intended to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. However, the proposal faces significant political challenges, particularly in the Senate, where it is unlikely to receive enough support.
- ▪The proposed $250 bill would feature Donald Trump's portrait.
- ▪Changing the law to allow a living person on currency would be necessary for the bill to proceed.
- ▪The proposal has been met with criticism from Democratic leaders, including Hakeem Jeffries.
