🔗 Share this article Trump Organization Sought to Bring In Nearly 200 Employees on Work Permits in 2025 The former president’s corporate entity increased its hiring of foreign workers on short-term work permits this period, while his administration was placing obstacles for other businesses wanting to do the identical, a report published Thursday claimed. Based on information from the federal labor department, the business sought to hire at least nearly 200 overseas employees in 2025 for temporary positions at the former president’s Florida property, two golf clubs and his winery in Virginia. The number of requests for temporary work visas covering staff including servers, office assistants, cleaning staff, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the highest ever submitted by the organization, and increased from over 120 in the previous term, when Trump’s first term concluded. It was also the fifth instance in a decade that the former president had attempted to bring in over a hundred overseas workers for temporary positions at his Florida resort, based on labor statistics. The revelation coincides with a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has included the introduction of a $100,000 fee on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny of the activities of the millions of people who already hold American work permits; and restrictive new rules for international scholars and journalists. In total, the business sought to hire over 560 foreign laborers over the five years the former president has been in the White House, from 2017 to 2021 and during 2025. Significantly, Trump was questioned by certain in the Republican party this period for remarks justifying the need for foreign workers when a business was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy particular roles. “You cannot just say a country is coming in, going to spend $10bn to build a plant, and going to take people off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It isn’t feasible that effectively,” he told a interviewer after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the wages of US workers. The administration declined a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an request for information.
