The US government has stopped Microsoft from using a green card program. A green card lets foreign workers live and work in the US forever. Seven other companies are also stopped. On the same day, Microsoft's boss got a prize from President Trump.
Vice President JD Vance says Microsoft cheated the system. He says the company let about 6,000 American workers go last year. He says it asked for thousands of visas for foreign workers at the same time. A visa is a paper that lets you work in another country.
Microsoft does not agree with him. It says most of the visas were for people who already work there. It says these workers get the same pay as Americans. The government says it wants to protect American jobs.
