US President Donald Trump signed an executive order last Monday that froze new visas for foreign workers through the end of the year, citing the need to preserve jobs amid the economic downturn① caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. H-1B visas for tech workers, H-2B visas for seasonal② workers, and J visas for those participating in work and student exchanges, as well as L visas for intracompany③ transfers④, will all be suspended through December 31. Healthcare workers and researchers combating COVID-19 and people working in food processing, such as agriculture or seafood industries, are exempt from the suspensions.

6月22日，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署一项行政命令，其中提到，受新冠疫情影响，美国经济低迷，需要保护就业岗位，因此2020年年底前，美国将暂停发放工作签证。2020年12月31日前，美国将暂停发放H-1B技术人员签证、H-2B临时劳工签证、用于工作与学生交流访问的J签证、用于跨国公司人员调动的L签证。抗击新冠病毒的医护人员及研究人员，农业和海鲜业等食品加工业的工作人员，不在此次禁令范围之内。

The sweeping new policy is likely to meet backlash⑤ from the business community, which haslobbied⑥ against restricting the hiring pool for US companies. In all, the White House projects that 525,000 American jobs will be saved or created by the executive order.

这项影响广泛的新政，很可能会遭到商界的强烈反对。商界人士一直在游说，反对限制美国公司的人才资源。白宫预计，这项行政命令将为美国人保护或创造共计52.5万个就业岗位。
