Chamber of Commerce sues Trump over $100K fee

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sued to block the Trump administration’s new $100,000 fee on H‑1B visas, warning it would make the program cost‑prohibitive and force businesses to raise labor costs or hire fewer skilled workers. The White House called the fee lawful and a first step toward reform, noting it applies to new requests. Tech leaders, including Elon Musk, Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai, criticized the move, while officials argued it protects American wages. Trump also set up a 'gold card' to fast‑track visas, with fees starting at £1m.
