News Topical, Digital Desk : After taking a tough stance on H-1B visas, Trump suddenly softened his stance and changed the visa conditions overnight. Now, the White House has presented Trump's views on H-1B visas. The White House says that Trump's stance on H-1B visas is quite neutral. He believes in America First. According to White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt, Trump does not want Americans to lose their jobs or be replaced by citizens of other countries. American workers were being replaced with H-1B visas, which prompted Trump to make this decision. However,
What did the White House say?
"Trump has a general view on H-1B visas," says Caroline Levitt. "He wants to see that if a foreign company is investing billions in the US and bringing in workers from abroad, that's fine initially."
According to Carolyn Levitt,
Once the company is fully established, Trump wants to hire American workers. He has urged foreign companies investing in the US to prioritize American workers if they are doing business there. However, this decision by the president has sparked considerable misunderstanding.
Trump appeals to foreign companies
Levitt further said, "Decisions like increasing tariffs and reducing trade with other countries of the world are also a part of this. Our country is getting billions of rupees from this. Many people are giving jobs to Americans at good salaries."
Trump hikes H-1B visa fees
It's worth noting that Trump had increased the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 (approximately ₹90 lakh). However, the Trump administration later clarified that this would be a one-time fee and would not require repeated payments. However, this rule will not apply to existing H-1B visa holders.
Trump's decision has sparked widespread outrage among his supporters. In response, Trump clarified that he wants skilled foreigners to come to the United States and teach them to Americans, creating more jobs for our people.
