She added that Americans will no longer need to \u201cpress 2\u201d for English to speak with someone \u201cwho doesn\u2019t speak English.

Jack Poso, a right-wing commentator, has demanded that the Trump administration impose tariffs on countries of foreign remote workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCountries 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,\u201d Poso said.<\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, his suggestion received a \u201cthumbs up\u201d from Trump\u2019s trade advisor, Peter Navarro, a key figure behind the administration\u2019s trade policies.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is not clear whether the Trump administration will impose strict restrictions on outsourcing to major IT firms of India like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro, or whether they would consider tariffs on foreign services.<\/p>\n<p>This comes amid the trade tensions between India and the US since Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on India, citing Russian oil imports. While the US president and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have exchanged cordial words and suggested cooperation, the issues between the two nations remain unresolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amid rising trade tensions between India and the United States, President Donald Trump is considering blocking US-based companies&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[79,179,18,19,17,5193,187,37031],"class_list":{"0":"post-50233","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-economy","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-laura-loomer","14":"tag-trump","15":"tag-us-president-donald-trump"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
