United States President Donald Trump has officially launched the Gold Card visa program and expressed strong disapproval of current immigration regulations that force talented international students to leave the country. During a high profile event at the White House attended by technology leaders including IBM CEO Arvind Krishna and Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell the President described the existing visa system as a matter of shame.He specifically highlighted the plight of bright graduates from India and China who finish at the top of their classes from prestigious institutions like Harvard Wharton and MIT but are compelled to return home due to visa expiration. Trump argued that this forced exit acts as a major loss for the American economy because these individuals often go on to create successful companies abroad that eventually compete with American businesses. The newly introduced Trump Gold Card is pitched as a solution to this issue by allowing companies to pay a premium fee to secure permanent residency for these high skilled workers immediately. The President termed the current situation ridiculous and emphasized that his administration is taking decisive steps to ensure that the most brilliant minds remain in the United States to drive innovation and economic growth. This initiative marks a significant shift in immigration policy aiming to create a direct merit based pathway for foreign talent to contribute to the US workforce without uncertainty.
