WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday vowed to “aggressively”, one of the largest sources of income for its latest US universities against US higher education, “aggressively”.

Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio’s announcement a day earlier, after criticizing his decision to suspend visas appointments for students around the world, at least one day ago, he showed corruption.

The Trump administration has already tried to terminate permission for all international students at Harvard University, which has rejected the president’s pressure on students’ protest.

Rubio said in a statement, the United States will “aggressively revoke a visa for Chinese students, including studying in the Chinese Communist Party or in critical sectors.”

“We will also revise the quality of the visa from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong to increase all future visa requests,” he said.

Young Chinese people have long been very important for US universities, relying on international students who pay full tuition.

According to a report by the State Department of the Institute of International Education, China sent 277,398 students in the 2023-24 academic year, although India surpassed it for the first time.

Trump also took the goal of Chinese students in his previous period, but focused on these people in sensitive fields or with clear links with the military.

It was unclear to what extent Rubio’s statement had increased.

Global uncertainty

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said Wednesday called on Washington to “protect the legitimate rights and interests of international students belonging to China.”

Rubio has already eliminated the cancellation of thousands of visas, which is for large -scale international students who were involved in Israeli criticism.

On Tuesday, a cable signed by Rubio ordered US embassies and consulates to “enhance any additional student or exchanging visas to increase the screening of applicants’ social media accounts” unless further guidance was issued.

These measures also threaten the United States to put pressure on students from friendly countries.

In Taiwan, a PhD student studying in California complained of a “uncertainty” at a visa break.

“I think the process may be delayed, but there is some time left before the semester began in mid -August,” the 27 -year -old student who did not want to identify.

“I can just wait now and hope for the best.”

Protest in Harvard

Amid the president’s claims that Trump is in anger in Harvard to reject his administration’s pressure and hire his administration to monitor the school entry.

A judge stopped the order to close foreign students on Thursday’s hearing, on the same day as a university graduation ceremony for which thousands of students and their families gathered in Cambridge in Massachusetts.

The White House has snatched Harvard as well as other US universities, which are widely included in the world’s most elite, federal funding for research.

White House press secretary Crown Levyt said about Fox News, “Presidents are more interested in giving money to taxpayers trading schools and programs and state schools, where they are promoting US values, but most importantly, the next generation is needed in their economy and their economy.”

Some Harvard students were worried that the Trump administration’s policies would make US universities less attractive to international students.

“I don’t know if I will pursue a PhD here. It is six years a long time,” said Jack, a UK -based history student, Jack, who is graduating this week and has given only the first name.

Harvard has filed wide legal challenges against Trump’s actions.
