🔗 Share this article Trump's Business Attempted to Bring In Almost 200 Employees on Visas in 2025 Donald Trump’s family business increased its recruitment of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, even as his government was creating barriers for other businesses attempting to do the identical, a report published recently claimed. Based on data from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization sought to hire at least nearly 200 overseas employees in the coming year for temporary positions at the US president’s Florida property, two golf clubs and his winery in Virginia. The number of requests for temporary work visas covering workers including servers, clerks, cleaning staff, kitchen staff and agricultural laborers was the record submitted by the organization, and up from 121 in the previous term, when his presidency ended. It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that Trump had sought to hire over a hundred foreign employees for seasonal jobs at Mar-a-Lago, based on labor statistics. The disclosure comes amid a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has included the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; extra scrutiny of the activities of the millions of people who already hold American work permits; and tighter regulations for foreign students and journalists. In total, the Trump Organization aimed to employ 566 overseas workers over the five years the former president has been in the White House, from his first term and during 2025. Significantly, the former president was questioned by certain in the Republican party this period for remarks justifying the necessity for overseas employees when a business was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy particular roles. “You cannot just say a country is entering, going to spend $10bn to construct a plant, and going to recruit individuals off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in five years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he told a interviewer after she suggested that foreign workers lower the wages of US workers. The White House declined a inquiry for comment, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an request for information.
