Can you tell me about his statement specific to the raid on Korean workers?
And how do we think that fits in to his sentiments?
Making batteries are very complicated.
It's not an easy thing and very dangerous.
So should we see this as Trump maybe seeing the H-1B worker maybe differently than he sees people who come here for asylum-seeking purposes or other means of immigration?
Or should we see this as Trump being deferential to the concerns of business leaders, often of whom have relied on this H-1B group and have a direct access to him in the White House?
Where do we think this...
shift in sentiments coming from.
And it really seems as if, you know,
The moments in which Trump is willing to go past his base or incur blowback, to your point, flow from the experiences that he has had and he's comfortable by.
And it does seem as if, whether it's as business owner or New Yorker or his relationship with these other CEOs, this is an issue that he might see much more differently than not just the folks in his administration, but also his electoral base.
So we have him making kind of sympathetic statements about folks who receive these visas, at the same time making them less accessible by imposing the $100,000 fee.
It seems as if it represents something we've seen across this administration, where there are wildly different views on a macro level
And also sometimes conflicting points of view, even when it comes to the principles in the room.
Do we know where this goes next?
Like, is there any sense that we could have about maybe the next flashpoint when it comes to this debate?
Up next, we'll hear from an India-born CEO who has some feelings about visas for foreign workers.
And those people are going to teach our people how to make computer chips.
And in a short period of time, our people are going to be doing great.
