Arabic version: توقيع ترامب سيظهر على الأوراق النقدية الأمريكية للمرة الأولى
According to BBC News,
Donald Trump is set to become the first sitting US president to have his signature on US banknotes, the Treasury Department has announced. Trump’s signature will appear alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, an unprecedented move that the department said was being made to mark America’s 250th anniversary.
Bessent stated that featuring Trump’s name on the currency is a powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump. US banknotes have traditionally carried the signatures of Treasury officials.
The first $100 bills with Trump’s signature are expected to be printed in June, with additional denominations to follow. Notes currently being printed bear the signatures of former President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, and Treasurer Lynn Malerba. It has been tradition since 1861 for the US treasurer’s signature to appear on bank notes, a tradition which will end under the Trump administration’s plans.
Bessent emphasized that the currency will continue to stand as a symbol of prosperity, strength, and the unshakable spirit of the American people. This announcement follows a series of initiatives by the Trump administration to associate Trump’s name with a range of government programs and public buildings.
