US President Donald Trump weighs in on H-1B visa debate: ‘Want competent people coming into country’

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

Trump also said that he has also used the H-1B visa programme.

The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
