🔗 Share this article Trump's Business Attempted to Hire Almost 200 Workers on Visas in 2025 The former president’s family business accelerated its recruitment of foreign workers on short-term work permits this period, even as his administration was creating barriers for other companies attempting to do the identical, a report released Thursday claimed. Based on data from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization aimed to hire at least nearly 200 foreign workers in 2025 for short-term roles at the former president’s Florida property, two golf clubs and his Virginia winery. The quantity of applications for temporary work visas for staff including servers, office assistants, housekeepers, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the organization, and increased from over 120 in 2021, when his presidency concluded. It was also the fifth time in 10 years that Trump had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for seasonal jobs at his Florida resort, according to labor statistics. The disclosure comes amid a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has included the introduction of a substantial charge on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny of the actions of the 55 million people who possess US visas; and tighter regulations for international scholars and journalists. Overall, the Trump Organization aimed to employ 566 foreign laborers over the period Trump has been in the White House, from his first term and during the upcoming year. Notably, Trump was questioned by some in the GOP this period for remarks defending the necessity for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “specific talents” to occupy particular roles. “You cannot just say a nation is entering, going to invest $10bn to construct a plant, and going to take people off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start making their defense systems. It isn’t feasible that well,” he told a host after she suggested that foreign workers lower the wages of American employees. The White House declined a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
