Donald Trump’s corporate entity increased its hiring of overseas employees on short-term work permits this year, while his government was creating barriers for other businesses attempting to do the identical, a report published recently stated.

According to information from the US Department of Labor, the business sought to hire at least 184 overseas employees in 2025 for temporary positions at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia.

The quantity of requests for temporary work visas for staff including servers, clerks, cleaning staff, kitchen staff and agricultural laborers was the highest ever filed by the organization, and increased from 121 in the previous term, when Trump’s first term concluded.

It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that Trump had attempted to hire over a hundred foreign employees for temporary positions at his Florida resort, according to available data.

The revelation coincides with a tightening on immigration laws by his government that has included the introduction of a substantial charge on skilled worker visas; increased review of the actions of the 55 million people who possess American work permits; and tighter regulations for foreign students and reporters.

Overall, the business aimed to hire over 560 foreign laborers over the five years Trump has been in the presidency, from his first term and during 2025.

Significantly, the former president was questioned by certain in the Republican party this week for remarks justifying the necessity for foreign workers when a business was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy certain positions.

“You can’t just say a nation is coming in, going to invest billions to build a facility, and going to take people off an unemployment line who have been unemployed in years, and they’re going to start producing their defense systems. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a host after it was implied that foreign workers lower the wages of American employees.

The White House refused a request for response, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an inquiry.
