US President Donald Trump announced the issuance of US visas to 600,000 Chinese students. The decision has angered MAGA supporters, who say Trump has compromised the 'America First' policy.
US Visa: US President Donald Trump has made a surprising decision. He has authorized the issuance of visas to 600,000 Chinese students to study at American universities. This decision comes at a time when his government has already adopted a strict stance on international students. The move has angered Trump's own supporters.
Anger of Make America Great Again (MAGA) Supporters
Trump's staunch supporters associated with the MAGA movement have reacted sharply to this decision. They say that Trump has sidelined the "America First" policy. Many supporters have expressed their displeasure on social media and even called the Chinese students "CCP spies."
Trump's Statement and Relations with China
Trump told reporters in Washington, "We will allow 600,000 Chinese students to come to America. This is very important. We want to have better relations with China." This statement is in stark contrast to his earlier policy, which talked about a visa ban on students associated with the Chinese Communist Party.
200% Tariff Warning
However, Trump also warned China that a 200% tariff would be imposed if the US did not receive a supply of Rare Earth Magnets. But he clarified that this would not affect Chinese students and they would continue to receive visas for their studies.
Major Shift from May Policy
Trump's decision is a complete reversal of the May 2025 policy, in which the US State Department talked about tightening visa restrictions for Chinese students. At that time, it was said that students associated with the Chinese Communist Party and students conducting sensitive research would not be allowed to enter the United States.
The Real Reason Behind the Opposition
MAGA supporters believe that Trump's move is like bowing down to China. They allege that this decision will reduce opportunities for American students and could also pose a threat to America's security with China.
