Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Friday that will impose an unprecedented $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visa applications, a move expected to shake the US tech industry, which has long relied on highly skilled foreign workers from India and China.
The US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, told reporters at a White House briefing that the adminration had already consulted leading companies. “A hundred-thousand dollars a year for H-1B visas, and all of the big companies are on board. We’ve spoken to them,” Lutnick said during the Oval Office event with the president.
