US EditionTrump says US will accept 600,000 Chinese students as part of trade deal
The U.S. plans to accept 600,000 Chinese students to improve trade relations despite prior visa restrictions and national security concerns, with over 270,000 currently enrolled, officials said.
- On Monday, President Trump revealed that as part of ongoing trade negotiations with China, the U.S. plans to allow an influx of 600,000 students from China to study in the country.
- This decision follows trade tensions, including threats of a 200% tariff on Chinese magnets and prior visa revocation plans targeting students connected to the Chinese Communist Party.
- Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick defended the policy, stating that without these students, the bottom 15% of U.S. colleges would fail, while Fox host Laura Ingraham criticized the H-1B visa program as a scam.
- Currently, over 270,000 Chinese students study in the U.S., and this increase would more than double their number, with Trump emphasizing, "We're going to allow, it's very important, 600,000 students."
- The announcement coincides with an extension of the U.S.-China trade deal deadline to November 10, suggesting that student visas remain a key element in broader trade negotiations.
