JD Vance challenges Donald Trump over H-1B visas: How it happens and what it reveals about policy
Vice President JD Vance has challenged President Donald Trump’s recent remarks on foreign labour, urging a focus on technology to support US workers rather than expanding reliance on H-1B visas. Trump has defended the need to “bring in talent,” reflecting a shift from his earlier stance as the administration imposes a US$100,000 fee on new H-1B petitions. Vance’s criticism of the visa system and major tech firms highlights an emerging internal policy divide, while legal challenges continue.
