\"TheWashington, D.C.<\/strong> – President Donald Trump took action earlier today to prevent Americans from being displaced by foreign workers and offshore labor using federal dollars.
\n 
\nThe new executive order combats the misuse of H-1B visas, which too often have been exploited to replace qualified U.S. workers with lower-cost foreign ones. President Trump is directing all federal agencies to focus on hiring Americans for lucrative federal contracts, and it requires that only U.S. citizens be appointed to the government\u2019s competitive service.<\/p>\n

\nPresident Donald Trump: No American worker should ever be replaced <\/a>
\n 
\nThe decision comes following news that the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)\u2014created in 1933 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt\u2019s New Deal\u2014planned to outsource 20 percent of its technology jobs to companies based in foreign countries. That action alone would\u2019ve put more than 200 American jobs at risk.
\n 
\nEven worse, outsourcing hundreds of jobs during a global pandemic would be especially detrimental to these workers, their families, and their communities.  
\n 
\nThen today, something remarkable happened. During the meeting to sign the executive order, President Trump was informed that TVA CEO Jeff Lyash had just called and \u201cindicated a very strong willingness to reverse course\u201d on the outsourcing plan.
\n 
\nThanks to today\u2019s order, other American workers will be protected going forward, too. \u201cWe’re not just solving your problem,\u201d Vice President Mike Pence told workers gathered at the White House today. \u201cWhat the President’s committing to today is to end the abuse of our worker visa program, once and for all.\u201d
