US Suspends Visas for Foreign Commercial Truck Drivers
The US government has halted the issuance of visas for foreign commercial truck drivers with immediate effect.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the decision aims to protect American truckers’ jobs and enhance road safety. “We are stopping the issuance of visas for commercial truck drivers immediately,” Rubio said, citing concerns that the increasing number of foreign drivers threatens employment opportunities and poses safety risks on US highways.
The move comes amid growing calls to safeguard local jobs in the country’s transport and logistics sector, ensuring that American citizens benefit from employment in this vital industry.
