President-elect Donald Trump appeared to side with technology bosses Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in a row over a visa programme that brings skilled workers to the US.
Trump told the New York Post on Saturday that he "always liked" H-1B visas and hired guest workers under the scheme - even though he's previously been critical of the programme.
He was wading into a debate that has pitted his advisors from the tech world against Republicans who want a harder line on all forms of immigration.
The argument broke out after Ramaswamy, tapped by Trump along with Musk to slash government spending, blamed American culture for US firms deciding to hire skilled workers from other countries.
