U.S. President Donald Trump is extending a moratorium on temporary work visas for tech and other occupations.
With just weeks left in his presidency, Trump extended the previous immigration freeze until March 31, 2021. This means hundreds of thousands of foreigners workers will not be able to get visas to enter the U.S.
The proclamation affects workers in several sectors, such as tech workers, seasonal workers in tourism, and certain au pairs. Trump signed the proclamation, on the grounds that the admission of new workers posed “a risk of displacing and disadvantaging United States workers during the economic recovery following the COVID-19 outbreak.”
