Donald Trump On H1B Visa: US President Donald Trump said that he likes “very competent people” coming into the country at all levels as he reflected on the H1B visa programme.
In a joint news conference at the White House with Oracle CTO Larry Ellison, Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Open AI CEO Sam Altman, Donald Trump said, “I like both sides of the argument, but I also like very competent people coming into our country, even if that involves them training and helping other people that may not have the qualifications they do. But I don’t want to stop — and I’m not just talking about engineers, I’m talking about people at all levels.”
Donald Trump added, “We want competent people coming into our country. And H-1B, I know the programme very well. I use the programme. Maître d’, wine experts, even waiters, high-quality waiters — you’ve got to get the best people. People like Larry, he needs engineers, Masa also needs… they need engineers like nobody’s ever needed them.”
The US President also emphasised on the importance of maintaining quality in immigration.
This comes after Elon Musk also advocated for the H1B visa programme saying that it helps in recruiting qualified tech professionals. The Tesla CEO said earlier, “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.”
