The United States Treasury has confirmed that President Donald Trump’s signature will appear on new US currency notes, marking the first time a sitting president has been featured in this way.
The announcement, released on Thursday, ends a long-standing tradition in which only the signatures of the Treasury Secretary and Treasurer of the United States appear on banknotes.
A senior Treasury official described the decision as a “historic recognition” of Trump’s leadership and said it would be implemented on newly printed bills starting later this year.
The move has sparked immediate debate on Capitol Hill, with critics calling it unprecedented and supporters hailing it as a fitting tribute to the president’s economic policies.
No further details on which denominations will carry the signature or the exact timeline were provided in the announcement.
