President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview that aired Tuesday night the United States doesn't have talented workers to fill jobs needed domestically, defending the H1-B skilled worker visa program. Pressed by Fox News' Laura Ingraham on whether his administration would reduce H1-B visas over concerns it would depress wages for American workers, Trump told Ingraham, "I agree " but you also do have to bring in talent."
When the Fox host responded, "We have plenty of talented people here," Trump replied, "No, you don't, no you don't ... you don't have certain talents, and people have to learn. You can't take people off an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory where we're going to make missiles.'"
