Trump signed the “Buy American, Hire American” order during his visit to the Snap-on Tools headquarters in Kenosha, Wis. Trump called the order “a powerful signal to the world” that “finally puts America first.”“We are finally standing up for our workers and our companies,” Trump said. The order targets the H1-B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to employ graduate level workers in specialty occupations like IT, engineering, mathematics and science. Each year on April 1, a fresh cap for H1-B visa applications is set by U.S. Currently, the government’s H-1B visa program admits 85,000 immigrants in each year to handle high-tech jobs.
