US to issue ‘America250’ passports featuring Donald Trump’s image

Key Points:

• The US government will issue limited-edition passports this summer featuring a large photograph of former President Donald Trump, alongside the Declaration of Independence text and the US flag, as part of the 250th anniversary of independence celebrations.
• These passports are part of the "America250" program, which also includes events like a Grand Prix race on the National Mall and a UFC fight at the White House, with the State Department emphasizing enhanced artwork and security features.
• Trump's image has increasingly appeared on various US government institutions and documents, including banners at federal buildings, the 2026 national parks pass, and proposed $1 and commemorative gold coins bearing his likeness.
• A controversial 250-foot golden victory arch dubbed the "Arc de Trump," featuring a statue reminiscent of the Statue of Liberty, has received preliminary approval despite widespread public opposition and would be taller than the US Capitol and Lincoln Memorial.
