President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Friday that would impose a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas — an effort to curb overuse of the program, a White House official told CNN.

The executive action claims that “abuse of the H-1B pathway has displaced US workers” and will restrict entry under the program unless accompanied by the payment, the official said.

The move marks the latest in a series of efforts from the administration to crack down on immigration and could significantly impact industries that depend heavily on H-1B workers.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
