🔗 Share this article Trump's Business Attempted to Hire Nearly 200 Workers on Work Permits in 2025 Donald Trump’s family business accelerated its recruitment of overseas employees on short-term work permits this year, while his administration was placing obstacles for other companies attempting to do the identical, an analysis released recently stated. Based on information from the US Department of Labor, the business sought to hire at least nearly 200 foreign workers in 2025 for short-term roles at the US president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia. The number of requests for temporary work visas for workers including servers, clerks, housekeepers, culinary employees and farm workers was the record filed by the organization, and increased from 121 in the previous term, when his presidency ended. It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that the former president had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, based on labor statistics. The disclosure comes amid a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has involved the introduction of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; increased review of the actions of the millions of people who already hold American work permits; and tighter regulations for foreign students and journalists. In total, the business aimed 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 the upcoming year. Significantly, the former president was questioned by some in the GOP this week for comments justifying the necessity for overseas employees when a business was unable to find people with “particular skills” to fill particular roles. “You can’t just say a country is entering, going to spend $10bn to build a facility, and going to take people off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a interviewer after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the wages of American employees. The administration declined a request for comment, and the business did not immediately respond to an request for information.
