President Trump’s administration is pausing all issuance of worker visas for foreign truck drivers, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday, arguing the growing number of international, commercial operators is putting the lives of Americans in danger.
“Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers. The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers,” Rubio said in a Thursday post on social platform X.
Rubio’s announcement comes days after Harjinder Singh, a truck driver, was accused of making an illegal U-turn that killed people about 50 miles north of West Palm Beach, Fla. {snip}

Trump penned an executive order in late April requiring all commercial truck drivers operating in the U.S. to be proficient in English. The president designated English as the country’s official language in an executive order in March.
