(CNN) – Walmart is halting job offers for applicants who need H-1B visas to work in the United States.
The pause comes after President Donald Trump announced a $100,000 fee for the visas, which are used to hire highly skilled foreign workers.
The move highlights how major companies are changing their policies in response to the administration’s tougher immigration policies.
Walmart is the nation’s largest private-sector employer with more than 2,000 H-1B visa holders working for the company.
Many of them work in tech and e-commerce roles that help Walmart compete with Amazon.
The White House argued the new fee will curb abuse of the system.
