President-elect Trump voiced his continued support for the H-1B visa program, stating he has “always liked” and utilized the program, despite ongoing internal disagreements within the Republican party. This support aligns with prominent figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who argue that a shortage of skilled American workers necessitates the program.

Musk defended his pro-H-1B stance, emphasizing its importance in building successful American companies.
President-elect Trump publicly endorsed the H-1B visa program, aligning himself with Elon Musk against intra-MAGA opposition. Trump stated his long-standing support for the program, citing its use on his own properties and its importance for attracting skilled workers.

The timing is certainly interesting, considering Russia’s own withdrawal from the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. This leaves one wondering if these warnings are genuine concerns about escalating tensions or simply a calculated tactic for domestic consumption and international posturing.
The Kremlin’s pronouncements often seem designed to paint a picture of a world teetering on the brink of nuclear conflict, where every nuclear power is a potential aggressor.
