US President Donald Trump has defended his decision to issue 600,000 Chinese student visas, despite a backlash from some supporters.
He told the Daily Caller on Sunday that it would be "insulting" to ban them, and said his move would benefit smaller universities.
The president is reversing the hard line his administration has taken on this for months, as trade talks with China continue.
Some of his allies in the Maga wing of Trump's Republican Party have expressed anger and confusion. "I just don't understand it for the life of me," said Fox News host Laura Ingraham. "Those are 600,000 spots that American kids won't get."
On X, Trump ally Laura Loomer wrote: "Nobody, I repeat nobody, wants 600,000 more Chinese 'students' aka Communist spies in the United States."

None of his voters voted for this crap.
Well his true colors are coming out and yes you did vote for this..to many were blinded by true love...Love sick if you will..
Didn’t he say last week that he misspoke that the 600,000 was two years of the current 300,000 per year and that wasn’t going to change. We were lied to twice. What is Trump getting out of this?
Ramp it down to 600 individuals next year.
You never say anything positive about Donald almost like you have an….agenda
You’re a jackass.
Yeah should have sat out the vote and let Harris run things. Because 0 percent is better lest we be “in love”
You and this site have become worthless. You know you guys have zero influence. Just a circle jerk of bitterness and stupidity.
“ Doubling down on betrayal.
None of his voters voted for this crap.”

This is concerning 😟
China has been Trump’s enemy for decades.
It’s dry likely part of a much bigger deal he’s putting together. Compromises must be made. That’s my guess anyway.
Dpetty is an old dnc troll don’t even bother
President Trump has done many great and wonderful things, from the Border, Crime, mostly good on the tariff things, reducing the size of Gov...to many to name but he has done some really bad stuff...More good than bad but the bad has been doozies like this idea of letting in 600k Chinese...
I was mistaken.
Lod voted for this crap.

Enjoy insulting FReepers and denigrating this forum? That’s not a good look. Just sayin’.
Like i said your party needs to know what a generic woman is before you start arguing big boy stuff like this
Not only do we need to import workers we need to import customers too? Seems rather unnecessary.
Colleges can lower their tuitions which are kept artificially high because of foreign money.
Ahh trying to disguise yourself again
Don’t post to me again.
