‘Wish You Would Speak More Clearly’: Video Shows US President Donald Trump Mocking Indian Journalist’s Accent During H1B Visa Question

US President Donald Trump on Friday, September 20, signed a proclamation that will require a new annual USD 100,000 fee (around INR 90 lakh) for H-1B visa applications and renewals, while also rolling out a USD 1 million “gold card” visa as a potential pathway to US citizenship. Amid this, a video has gone viral on social media, which shows Donald Trump interrupting an Indian journalist, allegedly mocking her over the mispronunciation of a word during a press conference. In the video, the journalist can be heard asking the President a question regarding the H1B visas and tech companies. However, Trump fails to understand the question and says, "Big tax? Big tech? BIG TECH. I wish you would speak more clearly." The video of the exchange has gone viral on social media. After Trump's H1-B visa jolt, major companies such as Meta and Microsoft went into a huddle on Saturday morning and urged all their H-1B visa holders to not leave the US, at least for at least 14 days. H-1B Visa Fee: What Was the Previous Fee and What Will Be the New Fee Breakup?
