Trump Winery Seeks 36 Foreign Workers at Lower Wages for 2026 Season
The Trump Organization applied to hire 36 temporary foreign workers for its Virginia winery at an hourly wage of $13.90, nearly $2 less than the previous year's rate. The workers would perform seasonal agricultural tasks such as pruning and harvesting from February to October 2026. This request follows the Trump administration's lowered wage calculations for certain foreign agricultural workers and reflects the company's ongoing use of H-2A visas despite broader immigration restrictions.
