President Trump directed his administration to increase the allotment of H‑2B temporary work visas after lobbying from associates tied to his private clubs. The Wall Street Journal identified former Mar‑a‑Lago manager Bernd Lembcke and longtime member Peter Petrina as the key figures who made the case to the president. Their advocacy contributed to the reversal of the administration’s earlier plan to cut the visa program. The expanded visas will allow additional seasonal guest workers to enter the United States.
