Donald Trump's image added to select US passports
A new select United States passport will feature an image of President Donald Trump, the government announced.
The president shared an image of the photo showing him with fists clenched over the Oval Office’s Resolute Desk and the text of the original Declaration of Independence in the background. Trump’s signature is at the bottom of the image.

“The USA’s New Passport, which says, ‘Welcome, but be good!’” Trump posted on Truth Social.
The passports will become available on July 6 and only while supplies last, the State Department said.
The new passport appears to feature a rendering of Trump based off of the president’s portrait from the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, reports CNN.
It differs from renderings released by the State Department earlier this year, which featured a different image of the president.

The White House X account later posted an image featuring the same rendering from the Truth Social post, captioned “New U.S. Passport to Commemorate America’s 250th.”
Access to the newly designed document is currently very limited, and passports are only available to American citizens.
The new limited-edition travel document was first announced in April as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration.
It was billed as “a limited-edition U.S. passport to commemorate the historic occasion of America’s 250th anniversary,” featuring “custom artwork and enhanced images on the front, back, and inside covers.”
Speaking to CNN at the time, an official said that the passport “will be the default passport out of the Washington Passport Agency when available” for those who renew their passports in person at that location.
“Online options or other locations will maintain existing passport design,” the official said.
