Donald Trump is “disappointed” with Vladimir Putin
President Donald Trump told reporters that he was “disappointed” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, referring to the latest attacks on Ukraine.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the US would “aggressively” revoke visas for Chinese students a few days after President Donald Trump requested the “names and countries” of Harvard international students.
“The US State Department will work with the Department of Homeland Security to actively revoke visas for Chinese students, including Chinese students and those studying in important fields,” Rubio said in a statement on May 28.
Rubio said the State Department will amend visa standards to “enhance the scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.”
The State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment on why Chinese students are targeted, which areas of study are considered important, and which visa numbers are expected to be revoked.
The Trump administration suspended scheduling new visa interviews for international students at U.S. embassies around the world, as the State Department prepares to expand its social media review of foreign students, according to an internal cable seen on May 27th.
The Trump administration also announced that it would cancel visas for all Harvard foreign students, but the action was soon blocked by a judge.
Executive authorities engaged in pro-Palestinian protests and criticism of Israel’s actions in the war in Gaza, moving to deport student visas and green cardholders to call their actions a threat to US foreign policy and accusing them of being pro-hammer.
