Trump presents national medal to Microsoft CEO after suspending its H-1B visas and alleging 'foreign indentured servants' replaced domestic workers

Trump suspended Microsoft from an H-1B-related green card program after Vice President JD Vance accused the company of abusing visas to replace U.S. workers, then honored Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella with the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. Vance said Microsoft laid off 6,000 U.S. workers while obtaining 6,300 H-1B visas and almost 3,000 green cards. The result is a public contradiction between immigration enforcement and high-profile praise for a major AI-linked tech company.
