🔗 Share this article Trump's Business Attempted to Hire Nearly 200 Workers on Visas in 2025 The former president’s corporate entity accelerated its recruitment of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, while his administration was creating barriers for other companies attempting to do the identical, a report released Thursday stated. Based on data from the US Department of Labor, the business sought to hire at least nearly 200 overseas employees in the coming year for temporary positions at the US president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, two golf clubs and his Virginia winery. The quantity of applications for H-2A and H-2B visas for staff including waitstaff, office assistants, cleaning staff, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the highest ever filed by the organization, and up from over 120 in the previous term, when his presidency concluded. It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that Trump had attempted to hire over a hundred foreign employees for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, based on available data. The revelation coincides with a crackdown on legal immigration by his government that has involved the implementation of a $100,000 fee on skilled worker visas; increased review of the actions of the millions of people who already hold American work permits; and restrictive new rules for foreign students and reporters. In total, the business aimed to employ over 560 overseas workers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from his first term and during 2025. Notably, Trump was questioned by certain in the Republican party this period for remarks defending the need for overseas employees when a business was unable to find people with “specific talents” to fill particular roles. “You can’t just say a country is entering, going to invest $10bn to construct a facility, and going to take people off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start making their missiles. It doesn’t work that well,” he stated to a interviewer after it was implied that overseas employees lower the wages of American employees. The White House refused a request for comment, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
