After the immigration enforcement at a South Korean-owned battery factory in Georgia, President Donald Trump is signaling a softening tone on permitting “people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people.” “When foreign companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other ‘things,’ come into the United States with massive investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our country, and back into their land,” Trump wrote in a detailed Truth Social post Sunday.
As U.S. manufacturers and foreign investors watch closely, the question is whether Washington can reconcile its tough immigration rules with its push to attract high-tech investment — a balance that may prove decisive in shaping America’s industrial future.
