An American right-wing activist, Laura Loomer, in her recent post claimed that US President Donald Trump is looking towards block the US-based companies from outsourcing their work to the Indian IT giants amid the trade war between the two nations, according to a social media post.
'Tariffing foreign remote workers'
According to a Times of India report, conservative commentator Jack Poso called for imposing tariffs on foreign remote workers who provide their services to the United States.
This stance also reportedly received a âthumbs upâ from Trump's trade advisor, Peter Navarro.
âCountries must pay for the privilege of providing services remotely to the US, the same way as goods. Apply across industries, levelled as necessary per country,â according to Poso's comments, cited in the news portal's report.
However, it is not yet clear whether US President Donald Trump is planning to impose tariffs on foreign workers providing services to the US, or planning to stop US firms from outsourcing their jobs to India.
