    VOA.GOV's Aline Barros on whether Donald Trump will nominate Mike
    Pompeo to succeed Tony Blinken at State.GOV: <URL:https://www.voanews.com/a/pilot-program-would-allow-some-to-renew-h1b-visa-holders-in-us-/7318850.html>
    | The State Department will evaluate whether this policy changes the
    | availability of visa appointments globally, reduces backlogs and
    | opens up appointments for individuals trying to get U.S. work visas
    | outside the United States, according to a State spokesperson on
    | background, a method often used by U.S. officials to share
    | information with reporters without being identified.
    |
    | Immigration lawyers have been urging the administration to reinstate
    | domestic visa renewals, which ended in 2004. They say renewing a
    | visa often means incurring significant expenses to travel abroad and
    | secure an appointment at a U.S. consulate, something that can lead
    | to months of delay, disrupting an employee's life.

    Does Trump regret taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
