US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing a $100,000 annual fee on companies hiring foreign skilled workers via the H-1B visa program. This is aimed at discouraging US firms from relying on international talent, particularly from India and China, and boosting employment of American graduates. Critics warn the move could hurt the US tech industry, which depends heavily on highly skilled foreign workers. Proponents say this protects domestic workers and promotes reskilling of Americans.
