'U.S. lacks talent'

Trump says United States doesn't have talented people to fill jobs domestically

SUMMARY

President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. lacks talented workers for certain jobs and defended the H1-B skilled worker visa program during a Fox News interview. He acknowledged concerns over wage depression but emphasized the need for skilled talent.

Trump insisted, "No, you don’t,” when challenged about the pool of domestic talent. He referenced a recent ICE raid in Georgia, arguing that skilled foreign workers are crucial for industries like battery manufacturing. Trump recently signed an executive order imposing a $100,000 fee for H1-B visas to limit immigration.
