What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Trump administration suspended the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) program for eight major IT firms, including Infosys, Wipro, and Microsoft, as part of efforts to reduce foreign workers in the US. India criticized this decision, stating it fails to advance shared ambitions, and also dismissed Vice President JD Vance's characterization of foreign professionals as "indentured servants".

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The PERM program is a key pathway for permanent residency and citizenship in the US. The suspension is expected to affect thousands of Indian technology professionals who rely on employer-sponsored green cards after entering on H-1B visas. This action occurs amid continuing strain in India-US ties.

JD Vance previously made remarks mentioning his Indian wife and Pakistan's Field Marshal Munir.
