美国印制局正计划印制印有唐纳德·特朗普总统肖像的250美元纪念钞，以纪念美国建国250周年。
财政部一名发言人在一份声明中证实了该计划，表示该局正针对“现行立法”开展“适当规划和尽职调查”。
这位发言人对CNN表示：“若这项立法授权得以签署生效，美国印制局将积极行动，制作250美元纪念钞，以恰当纪念我们伟大国家的250周年诞辰。”
南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员乔·威尔逊提出了一项法案，据其办公室的新闻稿称，该法案旨在“在建国250周年之际象征性地表彰美国总统”。该法案在国会陷入停滞，目前没有证据表明其会获得通过。
事实上，美国法律并未授权将在世人物的肖像印在美国货币上。必须由国会专门立法才能突破这项禁令。CNN已联系该钞票样稿的设计者征求评论。
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特在白宫新闻发布会上对CNN记者凯特兰·柯林斯表示，他认为将特朗普肖像印在纪念钞上“并无任何不妥”。但他补充道，该法案能否最终落地“取决于国会”。
据《华盛顿邮报》报道，该纪念钞设计与肯塔基州共和党众议员安迪·巴尔今年1月在X平台发布的样稿相似。样稿上印有特朗普神情严肃的肖像，搭配美国国旗配色、“250”周年标识以及总统的签名。
财政部发言人证实，这款潜在纪念钞上将印有特朗普的签名。
发言人表示：“根据美国财政部长布兰登·比奇的建议，贝森特部长将表彰我们伟大国家的历史性成就以及特朗普总统，将其签名加入货币之中。”
他们还指出，该项目未使用纳税人资金，因为美国印制局是自负盈亏的机构，无需依赖国会拨款。

Summary
- The Trump administration is making plans to print a commemorative $250 bill featuring President Donald Trump’s image and signature.
- A Treasury spokesperson said the plans are so officials are prepared if a related bill in Congress becomes law, though the legislation has languished.
- It is outlawed to put living people on US currency.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is planning to potentially print a commemorative $250 bill with the image of President Donald Trump to mark the country’s 250th anniversary.
A Treasury Department spokesperson confirmed the plans in a statement, saying it was conducting “appropriate planning and due diligence” in response to “active legislation.”
“Should this legislative mandate be signed into law, the BEP is moving proactively to produce a $250 commemorative note which will appropriately recognize the 250th Anniversary of our great nation,” the spokesperson told CNN.
Republican Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina has introduced legislation that would “symbolically recognize the President of the United States during the Semiquincentennial anniversary,” per a press release from Wilson’s office. The legislation has languished in Congress and there’s no evidence it would be passed.
In fact, putting the image of a living person on US currency is not authorized by US statute. An exception to that law would have to be authorized by Congress. CNN has reached out to the designer of the mockup of the bill for comment.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a White House press briefing that he didn’t think there was “anything untoward” about having Trump on a commemorative bill. But, he added, it was “up to” Congress if the bill became a reality.
The design, as reported by the Washington Post, resembles one that GOP Rep. Andy Barr of Kentucky posted on X in January. It showed a stern portrait of Trump with the colors of the flag, the “250” logo and the president’s signature.
The Treasury spokesperson confirmed Trump’s signature is on the potential currency.
“Based on the recommendation of U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, Secretary Bessent will recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Trump by adding his signature to the currency,” the spokesperson said.
They also noted that no tax dollars were used, since the agency is self-sustaining and doesn’t rely on congressional appropriations.
The story has been updated with additional developments.
