The Donald Trump administration has cancelled the commercial driving licences of more than 28,000 immigrant truckers in the United States. Officials said many drivers did not meet English language requirements. The government also announced a new programme to help military veterans become commercial truck drivers. Reports said the move could affect many Indian drivers, especially those from Punjab and Haryana working in the US trucking industry. The administration said the action is part of a wider crackdown on unsafe driving and licensing violations. Officials believe the veteran recruitment programme will help fill the shortage of truck drivers created by the decision.
