🔗 Share this article Trump Business Attempted to Hire Almost 200 Employees on Work Permits in 2025 Donald Trump’s family business increased its recruitment of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, while his administration was placing obstacles for other companies attempting to do the identical, a report published recently stated. According to information from the US Department of Labor, the business sought to hire at least nearly 200 overseas employees in 2025 for temporary positions at the US president’s Florida property, two golf clubs and his winery in Virginia. The number of applications for H-2A and H-2B visas covering workers including servers, clerks, housekeepers, culinary employees and farm workers was the record filed by the company, and increased from over 120 in the previous term, when his presidency concluded. It was also the fifth time in a decade that Trump had sought to hire more than 100 overseas workers for temporary positions at his Florida resort, based on labor statistics. The revelation coincides with a tightening on legal immigration by his administration that has included the introduction of a substantial charge on skilled worker visas; increased review of the actions of the millions of people who already hold US visas; and tighter regulations for international scholars and reporters. In total, the business aimed to employ over 560 foreign laborers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from his first term and during 2025. Notably, Trump was criticized by certain in the GOP this period for remarks justifying the necessity for overseas employees when a company was unable to find people with “particular skills” to fill particular roles. “You cannot just say a nation is coming in, going to spend $10bn to construct a plant, and going to recruit individuals off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that well,” he told a interviewer after she suggested that foreign workers undercut the pay of American employees. The administration refused a inquiry for comment, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
