Gold Card to Ease Hiring of Indians: Trump
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|February 28, 2025
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said American companies can now hire Indian graduates from US universities under the newly proposed 'gold card' citizenship initiative.
The decision, seen as a significant opportunity for students studying in the US including Indians, follows Donald Trump's unveiling of the 'gold card' on Wednesday—a pathway to US citizenship for wealthy foreign investors willing to invest $5 million.
President Trump said the current immigration system has made it difficult for top international talent, especially from countries like India, to stay and work in the US.
"I get calls from companies where they want to hire the number one student at schools," Trump said during the first full Cabinet meeting of his second term on Wednesday. "A person comes from India, China, Japan, or other countries, attends prestigious schools like Harvard or the Wharton School of Finance, or Yale...they receive job offers, but these offers are quickly rescinded because there's no certainty about whether they can remain in the country," he explained.
