Trump Seems to Reverse Course on Chinese Students in US, Saying He Supports Them
- President Trump reversed course on June 11, 2025, stating Chinese students can stay in the U.S. as part of a trade deal following a call with President Xi Jinping.
- This reversal came after months of visa revocations, suspended student interviews, and Secretary Rubio's March 28 pledge to restrict visas for Chinese students tied to the Communist Party or critical fields.
- A 90-day tariff pause agreed in Geneva in May temporarily eased tensions over rare earth minerals, a key issue linked to the trade negotiations involving both nations.
- Trump stated on Truth Social that the U.S. will fulfill its commitments to China, which includes allowing Chinese students to attend American higher education institutions—a practice he has always supported—while China confirmed it intends to uphold its obligations.
- Despite this apparent thaw, uncertainty persists among students and universities due to the administration's fluctuating visa policies and unclear future procedures.
