In a post on X, after Trump issued a proclamation imposing a USD 100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, Kant emphasised that India's top doctors, engineers, scientists, and innovators now have a greater opportunity to contribute to the nation's development and progress towards a 'Viksit Bharat', noting that the move will be "America's loss" but "India's gain".
