US to issue passports featuring Trump’s picture to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary

Key Points:

• The US State Department announced it will soon issue limited-edition passports featuring an image and gold signature of President Donald Trump to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary of independence.
• These specially designed passports will include customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining standard security features, with issuance expected to begin this summer.
• The inside cover of the new passport will display Trump's likeness, replacing the current image of Francis Scott Key, and the back cover will feature John Trumbull’s painting of “The Declaration of Independence.”
• This move follows other commemorations featuring Trump’s image, including a national park pass and a recently approved 250th anniversary commemorative coin by Trump’s Commission of Fine Arts.
• Details such as the number of passports to be issued and whether recipients must specifically request the commemorative version remain unclear.
