Video Description

Donald Trump has hiked the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 in a bid to wean US firms off foreign workers. India, which makes up 71% of H-1B recipients, has warned of "humanitarian consequences" from the move. Why is Trump targeting this visa programme? How will it impact Indian workers? Palki Sharma tells you. --- Trump H-1B Visa Fee Hike | US Immigration Policy 2025 | H-1B Visa $100K Fee | Trump Trade War | US-India Trade War | Donald Trump | White House Clarification | Karoline Leavitt Statement | Tech Companies React | Indian Government Response | H-1B Travel Concerns | Visa Fee Impact On Workers | US Work Visa News | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #h1bvisa #trumpnews #immigrationpolicy #trumptradewar #usindiatradewar #whitehouse #karolineleavitt #usvisafee #techindustry #usimmigration #indiandiaspora #visaupdate #h1btravelban #visaholders #h1b2025 #usworkvisa #indianimmigrants #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
