Most unexpected: Trump Stops Student Visa

The Donald Trump administration has been delivering one shocking news after another in the recent weeks, and they are back at it again now. Here is a latest look into the story that is in development now.

The Trump administration has stopped all new student and exchange visitor visa interviews at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world. This means students who want to study in the U.S. will not be able to attend interviews or get their visas for now. The government says it is doing this to start a new system that checks students’ social media accounts before giving them a visa.

The U.S. plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) to look at students’ online posts, likes, and messages. They want to find out if someone supports terrorism or has views that could be a threat to the country.

This new system is meant to improve national security. However, many people are worried it could lead to unfair treatment. Some fear that students may be denied a visa just because they shared an opinion that criticizes the U.S. government or supports a different political view.

This decision has caused concern among U.S. colleges and universities. Every year, about 1.1 million international students come to the U.S. to study. These students bring over $40 billion to the American economy and support many jobs. Universities are now worried they may lose smart and talented students from around the world.

In the past, the Trump administration also tried to cancel visas and deport some foreign students, but courts blocked those actions. Now, with this visa freeze, many students are unsure about their future. The government has not said when interviews will start again.
