External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar emphasized the necessity of a global workforce amid the escalating H-1B visa fee controversy. Speaking at the Observer Research Foundation's event during the UN General Assembly, Jaishankar highlighted that many nations face demographic challenges that hinder their ability to meet labor demands domestically. He advocated for a contemporary, efficient model of a global workforce, acknowledging the political debates surrounding its implementation. His remarks come in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's imposition of a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, which predominantly affects Indian professionals.
