US Treasury Prepares Dollar Bill With Trump's Face
The US Treasury is getting ready to print $250 bills. The bills would show President Trump's face.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the plan on Thursday. The $250 bill would mark the United States' 250th birthday.
But a law currently stops living people from appearing on US money. Congress must pass new laws before printing can start.
Republicans in Congress introduced the needed laws. But the proposal has stalled.
Democrats say they will block it. This could stop Congress from giving the needed approval.
Klear Note — US law bans living people from appearing on money. Congress must change this law before new bills can print.
