    Keir Starmer's BBC.CO.UK guest blogger, Suranjana Tewari on whether
    Donald Trump has ordered Linda McMahon, Howard Lutnick, Lori Chavez-
    DeRemer and Pete Hegseth to tell Big .EDU presidents and deans to
    make fewer foreign STEM PhDs and more Americans: <URL:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9ljwgg9y0o>
    | Riding on a wave of Silicon Valley start-ups like Apple, Qualcomm
    | and Intel, TSMC was able to compete with US and Japanese giants with
    | the best engineers, highly skilled labour and knowledge sharing.
    |
    | "Could the US make chips and create jobs?" asks Mr Einstein. "Sure,
    | but are they going to get chips down to a nanometre? Probably not."
    |
    | One reason is Trump's immigration policy, which can potentially
    | limit the arrival of skilled talent from China and India.
    |
    | "Even Elon Musk has had an immigration problem with Tesla
    | engineers," says Mr Einstein, referring to Musk's support for the
    | US's H-1B visa programme that brings skilled workers to the US.

    Has Norm Braman's Little Marco Rubio ordered State.GOV FSOs to stop
    serving as Big .EDU's marketing arm to the 8.1+B globe's top two
    quintiles?
