Goldman President Criticizes Barriers to Migration Amid H-1B Row

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. President John Waldron criticized the growth of barriers to movement put up by countries around the world, amid rising concern among American firms about the Trump administration’s decision to charge $100,000 for a key type of visa.

“We have a very big global footprint that we need and desire that talent all over the world — and I think the more barriers we put up around the world, the harder it is for companies like ours to do that,” Waldron said at an event hosted by the Financial Times in New York, in response to a question that cited US policy and that of countries globally.
