On this episode of Trumponomics, host Stephanie Flanders explores US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications, which industries will lose the most from this new expense for foreign workers and a potential long-term silver lining for India, the source of most of them.
