President Donald Trump has unveiled a new approach to America’s H-1B visa program. Despite his administration’s ongoing crackdown on visa abuse, Trump says the U.S. must bring in global talent where American skills fall short. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it a “knowledge transfer” model — foreign experts will train U.S. workers, then return home once the jobs are localized. Here’s what the new plan means for tech, manufacturing, and global talent flows.
