A senior administration official said on Monday the move would help the economy, but business groups strongly oppose the measures.

The temporary visa suspension will include work-authorised J visas, which are available for cultural exchange opportunities in the United States, and visas for the spouses of H-1B workers.

Doug Rand, co-founder of Boundless, a pro-migrant group that helps families navigate the US immigration system, said the fact that H2-A visas used to bring in foreign farmworkers were exempt signals that "big agriculture interests are the only stakeholder with any sway over immigration policy in this administration."Loading

Trump also will renew an April proclamation that temporarily blocks some foreigners from permanent residence in the United States, the senior administration official said on Monday. The official said that proclamation freed up roughly 50,000 jobs for Americans, but did not provide details. In addition to the new visa suspension, the Trump administration will take several other moves to tighten rules around temporary work visas.
