Trump's week in review: ICE deployed to airports; Trump's signature to appear on US currency
5. Trump’s signature to appear on U.S. paper currency
In a statement published Thursday, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that Trump’s signature will appear on U.S. paper currency to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. His signature will appear on future bills alongside that of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The department said this will mark the first time in U.S. history that a sitting president’s signature appears on American currency.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability,” Bessent said. “There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S. dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial.”
“As the 250th anniversary of our great nation approaches, American currency will continue to stand as a symbol of prosperity, strength, and the unshakable spirit of the American people under President Trump’s leadership,” Treasurer Brandon Beach said.
“The President’s mark on history as the architect of America’s Golden Age economic revival is undeniable. Printing his signature on American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.”
