The social media post, which was shared on 5 September 2025, highlighted how Laura Loomer says that Americans who want IT services do not have to 'press 2' for the language English anymore after this alleged move.

According to a Times of India report, conservative commentator Jack Poso called for imposing tariffs on foreign remote workers who provide their services to the United States.

This stance also reportedly received a 'thumbs up' from Trump's trade advisor , Peter Navarro.

“Countries must pay for the privilege of providing services remotely to the US, the same way as goods. Apply across industries, levelled as necessary per country,” according to Poso's comments, cited in the news portal's report.

However, it is not yet clear whether US President Donald Trump is planning to impose tariffs on foreign workers providing services to the US, or planning to stop US firms from outsourcing their jobs to India.
