Trump plans to honor Microsoft’s CEO after Vance drops an H-1B visa hammer on the company
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported43m ago
On Thursday in Washington, President Donald Trump hosted an event to honor tech billionaires, including Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, for their economic contributions to the United States. The event occurred shortly after Vice President JD Vance announced that Microsoft had been suspended from a federal visa program.
Vance accused the company of abusing the H-1B visa system to increase its intake of foreign workers. The simultaneous celebration of the company's leadership and the punitive action against its hiring practices highlights a conflict between the administration's outreach to tech executives and its restrictive stance on visa policies.
