"You don't want to cut half of the people, half of the students from all over the world that are coming into our country-destroy our entire university and college system-I don't want to do that,"
"We take in trillions of dollars from students,"
"You know, the students pay more than double when they come in from most foreign countries. I want to see our school system thrive. And it's not that I want them, but I view it as a business."
"aggressively revoke"
President Donald Trump said cutting international student enrollments would damage U.S. colleges and universities and opposed such reductions. He emphasized the economic value of foreign students, noting higher tuition paid by international students and large financial inflows to U.S. institutions. Fox host Laura Ingraham raised concerns about Chinese spying and intellectual property theft, prompting discussion of visa revocation and intensified vetting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio threatened to "aggressively revoke" Chinese students' visas, while Trump later proposed allowing 600,000 Chinese students, a move that drew backlash and appeared inconsistent with some administration actions like visa revocations and arrests.
