Trump to put his picture in US passports

## Commemorative Passports for 250th Anniversary

In a move that breaks with tradition, the US State Department announced the release of limited-edition passports featuring Donald Trump's image. This initiative is part of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence.
