POLICY WIRE — Washington, United States — President Donald Trump has renewed an executive order that would impose a $100,000 fee on H-1B non-immigrant visas for another year, according to the White House.

The H-1B program allows U.S. employers to hire skilled foreign workers, particularly in technology and other professional fields, by paying a fee to the federal government. The move reflects Trump’s ongoing efforts to reform the immigration system, though the proposed fee increase faces legal challenges.
