"While President Trump announced late last week that it will make it harder to bring talent to the US, we want to make it easier to bring talent to the UK," Rachel Reeves said on Tuesday. Reeves comments come after the UK trumpeted a £150bn tech deal with the US during Trump's second state visit. Last week, Trump caused chaos in Silicon Valley by announcing an overhaul of the H-1B visa system used by the likes of Google, Apple, Microsoft and others to hire top talent from overseas. "So, while President Trump announced late last week that it will make it harder to bring talent to the US, we want to make it easier to bring talent to the UK. "We are expanding our global talent and high potential individual visa routes, and we're moving quickly to make those easier to access and more supportive of firms ambitions to bring talent here."
