White House will not increase Chinese student visas

The Trump administration has said that the country will not be granting an additional 600,000 visas to Chinese students to come to the United States, but that the figure is just a reflection of continued policy. Trump had spoken about 600,000 student visas for Chinese students during a meeting on Monday with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.

"President Trump isn't proposing an increase in student visas for Chinese students. The 600k references two years worth of visas. It's simply a continuation of existing policy," a White House spokesperson said.

The White House says Trump “is not proposing an increase in student visas for Chinese students.”
