Two weeks after the U.S. said it would revoke Chinese student visas, Trump said he came to an agreement with Chinese leader Xi Jinping regarding enrollment at U.S. campuses.

President Trump said Wednesday that Chinese college students, who were threatened with losing their visas, can stay as part of a trade deal with China.

U.S. Sec. of State Marco Rubio recently said the country would "aggressively revoke" visas for Chinese students at American universities studying critical fields or "with connections to the Chinese Communist Party," which is effectively the country's government.

At Mount Holyoke College, a liberal arts school some 90 miles west of Boston, administrators have few answers so far for their perspective international students who are no longer certain they will be allowed to study in the US.

President Donald Trump says the U.S. has reached a trade deal with China and is ditching plans to revoke Chinese student visas.

Notre Dame football has a starting punter from Australia (James Rendell) and four other players on its 2025 projected roster who hail from Canada.

Critics say proposals to restrict or even ban Chinese student visas take a “sledgehammer to a problem that needs highly targeted tools.”

The concentration of F-1 student visa holders – typically those working on traditional degrees at accredited colleges and universities – are concentrated in the states with some of the top U.S. schools. California leads the list with 821 SEVP-registered schools. New York came in second, with 480.

In a major development in the ongoing US-China trade saga, President Donald Trump announced on June 11, 2025, that a trade framework with China has been finalized, including a critical agreement for Beijing to supply rare earth minerals to the United States.
