U.S. President Donald Trump plans to introduce a new $100,000 application fee for H-1B worker visas, according to a White House official, in an effort to reduce their use as part of his broader immigration crackdown.

The Trump administration has told Congress it plans to sell nearly $6 billion in weapons to Israel, a fresh surge of support for the U.S. ally as it faces increasing isolation over its war in Gaza.

President Trump has introduced a $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications, aiming to reform the skilled worker program. This move seeks to discourage mass applications and address concerns about lower wages for foreign workers in entry-level positions. The changes could significantly impact startups and small businesses, potentially shifting focus back to American tech workers and protecting domestic employment.
