A senior administration official said on Monday the move would help the economy, but business groups strongly oppose the measures.

The temporary visa suspension will include work-authorised J visas, which are available for cultural exchange opportunities in the United States, and visas for the spouses of H-1B workers.

Doug Rand, co-founder of Boundless, a pro-migrant group that helps families navigate the US immigration system, said the fact that H2-A visas used to bring in foreign farmworkers were exempt signals that "big agriculture interests are the only stakeholder with any sway over immigration policy in this administration."Loading

Trump also will renew an April proclamation that temporarily blocks some foreigners from permanent residence in the United States, the senior administration official said on Monday. The official said that proclamation freed up roughly 50,000 jobs for Americans, but did not provide details. In addition to the new visa suspension, the Trump administration will take several other moves to tighten rules around temporary work visas.

‘Grab me, sir’: Trump explains his infamous unsteady walk | Sky News AustraliaUS President Donald Trump has explained his infamous slow walk from the stage at West Point in which he appeared unsteady – prompting scrutiny of his health – saying he took “little steps” to avoid falling down the steel ramp in leather shoes “with the fake news watching”.\n\n“I said general, I’ve got myself a problem, general, because I’m wearing leather-bottom shoes, which is good if you’re walking on flat surfaces; it’s not good for ramps,” Mr Trump said.\n\n“This was a steel ramp, it had no handrail, it was like an ice-skating rink.\n\n“I said, general, there’s no way I can make it down that ramp without falling on my ass.”\n\nMr Trump said falling would have been a “disaster” but given the response to his walk he would’ve been better off “falling and sliding down the damn ramp”. realDonaldTrump Yes, it's slightly amusing. What Trump hasn't explained to anyone is any positive agenda for 2020-24. realDonaldTrump Blaming the shoes now? Did china make the shoes? Blame them too?
