Trump signs ‘Buy American, Hire American’ order
US President Donald Trump is ordering the government to bolster protections for US-made goods and reform a visa program for foreign workers. He signed the order after touring a factory in Wisconsin, RT reports.
Trump announced the new executive order, instructing federal agencies to protect USmanufactured goods from foreign competition and review the H-1B visa program for foreign workers, in a speech at Snap-on Tools in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
“Widespread abuse in our immigration system” allowed companies to replace American workers by foreigners, at lower pay, Trump said, announcing a reform of the H-1B visa program. “This will stop.”
“American projects should be made with American goods,” the president announced. “We are going to investigate every single trade deal that undermines these provisions.
