President Donald Trump announced a new proposal targeting the trucking industry.
He says immigrant drivers should be replaced by U.S. military veterans. The plan
builds on his earlier push to limit commercial licenses for immigrants. He
includes both undocumented and legal resident drivers in the proposal. Trump has
blamed immigrant drivers for a rise in traffic crashes. The administration
argues that veterans are qualified for trucking jobs. If adopted, the policy
could reshape hiring practices in freight transport. Watch for potential
regulatory or legislative steps to implement the change.
