Impact of Trump's Re-Election: Brain Drain Threatens American Innovation

The return of Donald Trump to the presidency has significant implications for the United States, notably leading to a substantial loss of talented professionals to other countries—a phenomenon often referred to as a brain drain. Experts warn that this shift could undermine America's longstanding advantages in innovation and expertise. Professor Kellie Carter Jackson emphasizes that such a trend poses a serious threat to American society, risking the erosion of its competitive edge built over decades. Meanwhile, policies have made it increasingly difficult for international students and skilled workers to operate within the U.S., as other nations become more welcoming destinations for talent.
