White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully pushed back against a reporter’s claim that H-1B visa holders are replacing American workers, sharply defending President Trump’s “U.S. Workers First” approach. Leavitt clarified that the President supports a balanced, commonsense policy—allowing high-skilled foreign workers only when necessary, while ensuring that American jobs remain protected. She emphasized that once new factories are operational and U.S. workers are properly trained, companies will be required to hire American employees, not rely on foreign labor.
