AsianFin — U.S. President Donald Trump signaled support for a plan that would allow immigrant farmworkers to remain in the country if their employers—American farmers—are willing to sponsor them.

Speaking at an event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on July 3, Trump said the U.S. should consider letting agricultural workers stay as long as farm owners are prepared to provide some form of guarantee. He framed the proposal as a practical solution to avoid labor shortages in the farming sector, emphasizing that removing all workers from farms is not in the country’s interest.
