President Donald Trump on Thursday extended restrictions on green cards and work visas, saying the measures are needed to protect American workers amid an economy battered by the CCP virus.

The restrictions, which were issued in April and June in the form of presidential proclamations, were set to expire on Dec. 31 but will be extended until March 31, 2021.
