Trump backs skilled immigration, offering breather for Indian IT companies

US President Donald Trump has said that he likes both sides of the argument on the H-1B foreign guest workers’ visa, noting that America needs “very competent” and “great” people, which is possible through this visa programme.

The remarks have sparked optimism among professionals and businesses reliant on the H-1B visa programme, and provided much-needed relief to many employed in India’s IT services sector.
