Now, President Trump has explained his decision more thoroughly and shared that the U.S. college system would be destroyed if it stopped allowing Chinese students to study at American universities.
The Daily Caller reported more on Trump’s controversial remarks:
President Donald Trump explained during a Tuesday cabinet meeting why he changed his mind on allowing 600,000 Chinese students to study in the U.S.
Trump announced on Monday that his administration will allow 600,000 Chinese students to study in the U.S., despite previous plans by administration officials to revoke visas from Chinese students in March. Trump told Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese that he is “getting along very well” with Chinese President Xi Jianping and that it is an “honor” for Chinese students to come to the U.S.
“We’re getting along very well with China. And I’m getting along very well with President Xi. I think it’s very insulting to say students can’t come here because they’ll go out, they’ll start building schools and they’ll be able to survive it. But, I like that their students come here, I like that other countries’ students come here. And you know what would happen? If they didn’t, our college system would go to hell very quickly,” Trump said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in March that the administration would “aggressively” revoke the visas of Chinese students, particularly those with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This move changed in June when the U.S. and China reached an agreement to allow students to continue their studies.
Trump said his strong relationship with Xi is the reason why the U.S. will allow Chinese students to partake in its “tremendous college system.”
“We have a tremendous college system. Nobody’s even close. That’s why China sends them here. But you’re talking about millions of people and I’m honored to have the students from China come here and we’re just getting along very well with China,” Trump continued.
Watch Trump here:
JUST IN: President Trump says it’s “INSULTING” to say 600K Chinese students shouldn’t come to America, and that if we kicked them out, our university system would “go to hell!”

Fox News reported that conservatives are pushing back against Trump’s new plans:
Some immigration groups and conservative voices on social media voiced their opposition to the proposal.
“We should not let in 600,000 CHINESE students to attend American colleges and universities that may be loyal to the CCP,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted on X late Monday night. “If refusing to allow these Chinese students to attend our schools causes 15% of them to fail then these schools should fail anyways because they are being propped up by the CCP.”
“Granting 600,000 student visas to Chinese nationals threatens to put foreign students ahead of U.S. graduates,” Joe Chatham, director of government relations at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“The focus now must be on reforms to limit access to sectors crucial to our economy and national security that have repeatedly been the target of corporate espionage and intellectual property theft—not expanding access to hostile countries. Educating foreign nationals should never be put before the interests of U.S. citizens and ensuring that our nation thrives,” he continued.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick delved further into the Trump administration’s view on the matter when pressed on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“With all due respect, how is allowing 600,000 students from the communist country of China putting America first?” Laura Ingraham asked.
Great question by Laura Ingraham to the Trump administration
“With all due respect, how is allowing 600K students from the Communist country of China putting America First?”
Howard Lutnick’s answer is just dumb. There’s no defending this. It’s not America First. pic.twitter.com/zQovVsj2MJ
