US President Donald Trump has made a surprising U-turn on his stance towards foreign students in the US. In a recent interview with Fox News, Trump defended the presence of international students, stating that it's a 'good' practice that brings in significant revenue for the nation's higher education system. He warned that reducing the number of foreign students would be 'financially destructive' and lead to the closure of many universities, including historically Black institutions.Trump acknowledged that half of the students in the US come from abroad and emphasized the importance of maintaining good relations with other countries. He expressed his desire to see the US school system thrive, despite his previous policies targeting international students. The administration's recent efforts to reduce the number of foreign students, including a proposed compact with colleges, seem to be in contradiction with Trump's current stance. As the US continues to navigate its relationship with international students, the future of this policy remains uncertain.
