‘Train US workers, then go home’: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Trump’s H-1B visa vision

A day after US President Donald Trump defended the H-1B visa programme, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent elaborated on the administration’s approach, saying the “vision” is to bring in skilled foreign workers who can train Americans and eventually return to their home countries.

“The President’s vision here is to bring in overseas workers, where these jobs went, who have the skills. Three, five, seven years to train the US workers, then they can go home. The US workers fully take over,” Bessent said in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday.
