The Trump administration is suspending Microsoft, Adobe, and several other technology companies from a program that helps skilled foreign workers obtain permanent residency in the United States, accusing the companies of fraud. “Our ​message to Microsoft is: You’re a great American company, ​but you’ve got to hire great American workers,” U. S. ⁠Vice President JD Vance said in a news conference on Thursday, Reuters reported. The other firms being suspended from the program include Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro. H-1B visas are designed for highly skilled positions that employers may struggle to fill with qualified U. S. workers.
