US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed preparations are underway to print a new $250 banknote featuring President Donald Trump's face, contingent on lawmakers changing legislation that currently bars living persons from appearing on US currency. The design, intended to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, would mark the latest example of Trump expanding his personal brand through federal institutions.
