In recent news, the Trump administration is kicking around a controversial proposal that could change the way Americans interact with their banks.

This idea of requiring banks to collect proof of citizenship is currently being considered for an executive order, and it's raising eyebrows everywhere.So, what does this actually mean? Well, if this proposal goes through, banks would have to verify the citizenship status of every single customer. They’ll need documents like passports as proof. And it's not just for new accounts. No, this would affect everyone with an existing account. So that could mean lots of logistical headaches for banks trying to roll out this policy retroactively.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
