Reuters reported on Wednesday the United States had told India it was considering caps on H-1B work visas for countries that force foreign companies to store data locally, according to sources familiar with the matter. There is no country-specific limit on the 85,000 H-1B work visas that the United States grants each year, and an estimated 70% of them go to Indians. The United States has stepped up pressure on its big trading partners since President Donald Trump took office. Kumar said the overall direction of ties with the United States was positive. Defence relations have expanded with the United States becoming one of India’s top arms suppliers, replacing traditional partner Russia.
