JD Vance pleads ‘I love my Indian in-laws’ after facing backlash for ‘foreign workers’: What he said | Today’s news

US Vice President JD Vance on Saturday (local time) clarified his remarks referring to H-1B visa workers as “foreign servants”, saying his rhetoric was flawed and that he wanted to focus on American companies and the system, not H-1B visa holders.

He issued an explanation, invoking his South Indian wife and in-laws, saying: “You know where my family comes from. I love my in-laws who immigrated here from South India. We should welcome people who contribute, but we need a balanced system.”
