Trump H1B Visa Policy | Hyderabad, Nov. 25: US President Donald Trump renewed debate on the H1B visa policy after he shifted tone on skilled foreign workers.
Trump remarks drew sharp criticism from his base. White House officials then moved fast and clarified his stand. Officials stated that Trump supports foreign investment while he protects jobs meant for Americans.
White House adviser Leavitt said Trump never backed the replacement of American jobs with foreign workers. He stressed that Trump wants stronger local industries.
Moreover, Trump pushed new tariffs on several countries. He also signed fresh trade deals to improve local production.
Officials said these moves aim to create stable jobs for American workers.

Furthermore, Trump focused on the H1B visa system. He said foreign firms invest trillions in the United States. They also need skilled workers to run battery units and other special plants.
He wants these companies to later replace foreign workers with trained Americans. He already asked all firms to hire Americans when they invest in the country.
Trump always promoted the America First idea. He adopted a strict approach to the Trump H1B visa policy from the start.
Recently, he raised the application fee to one hundred thousand dollars. This decision shocked many global companies.
They warned that the change could block talent flow. However, Trump argued that foreign workers take away opportunities meant for Americans. The claim led to wide debate in global markets.
Trump later softened his statements. He said the United States needs some foreign workers. He also noted that large investors bring billions into American companies.
Trump said the country cannot grow without such support. Therefore, he accepted that skilled foreign workers help the economy. However, he insisted that these workers must train Americans and then return home.
His team said this rule protects national interests. Meanwhile, industry leaders want stable visa rules. They warned that sudden shifts disrupt long term plans. Experts also called for a balanced approach. They said the system must support investment and protect workers at the same time.
