As the Donald Trump U.S. administration sharply raised the bar for H-1B professional work visas, countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, China, and Korea, have jumped into a race to attract key talent departing the United States. As the United States pushes out minds from around the world who once chased the “American dream,” rival nations are seizing this as an opportunity for “reverse brain drain” and are launching a battle for talent.
Reuters reported on the 22nd (local time) that “several countries, including Korea, are trying to use the United States’ hard-line immigration policy to their advantage,” and that they “aim to attract foreign scientists and engineers to develop their own industries and reverse the outflow of talent.”
