Torres and his staff joined members of the Marianas business community for a meeting with Congressman Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan in Washington on Monday. All agreed that the Trump administration decision to cut the number of CW permits this year to 9,998 was not what they wanted. Looking ahead, Sablan asked the Governor to use his influence with the President to roll back a further cut to 4,999, already announced for next October. “In Congress, we are making good progress on consensus legislation that will ensure the Marianas economy has the labor it needs,” Sablan told the group. “But the Trump administration decision to cut to 4,999 permits in October cuts in half the time we have to act and makes it even more difficult to get a long-term solution into law. Short-term, the decision is also very bad for our economy.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
