US to allow entry of 600,000 students from China: Trump

Washington DC [US], August 26 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the US will allow the entry of 6,00,000 students from China.

Amid tariff talks with China, Trump said that the inflow of Chinese students was important.

I hear so many stories about were not going to allow their students- Were going to allow their students to come in. Were going to allow it. It very important. 6,00,000 students. It very important, he said.

Trump said that he was affirmative of having good relations with China.

President Xi would like me to come to China, it a very important relationship. As you know, were taking a lot of money in from China because of the tariffs and different things, and it a very important relationship. Were going to get along good with China, he said.

But were going to get along with China. But it a different relationship that we have now with China. It a much better relationship economically than it was before with Biden, he said.

Earlier this year, the administration imposed a 145 tariff on all Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to retaliate with a 125 tariff on US exports.

Negotiators in Geneva agreed in May to pause additional levies, but Trump has continued to warn of further penalties. Last week, he floated a 200 tariff on Chinese-made magnets, citing what he described as Beijing monopoly over the global market, Fox News reported.

I dont think were going to have a problem with that, Trump told reporters, as per Fox News.

China, intelligently, went and they sort of took a monopoly on the world magnets. Itll probably take us a year to have them, he said.

Currently, about 2,70,000 Chinese students are enrolled in US universities, as per Fox News.

In May, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese nationals, particularly those tied to the Communist Party or sensitive research fields.

Trump has since shifted tone, telling reporters in June that he has always been in favor of welcoming students from China, Fox News reported. (ANI)
