Also for students – Trump imposes huge access restrictions

Trump also justified the step of that Washington about nationals of these countries did not provide sufficient information to assess the risks they have issued for the United States.

The affected countries are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial -Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Jemen, said the Republican. He also decided to partially limit the access of subjects from seven other countries. These are Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

“Muslim ban” in the first term
In his first term (2017-2021), Trump had published the controversial “Muslim ban”. At that time he forbade access for refugees and citizens from different mainly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Iraq was later removed by the list.

The original prohibition on arrival was implemented without warning and led to chaos at airports worldwide. People with valid residence permits were initially detained or sent back. After massive protests and legal disputes, the Trump government has revised the rules.

In June 2018, the Supreme Court confirmed a final version that also included countries such as North Korea. The recognition of some Muslim countries that were not a majority served the Trump government to invalidate the accusation of religious discrimination. Despite the strict guidelines, some people were allowed to enter the United States – such as diplomats. The successor of Trump, the Democrat Joe Biden, took the decree in January 2021, only a few hours after his inauguration.

Trump wants to deny foreigners for Harvard Studies
The 78-year-old also wants to refuse to enter almost all foreigners who want to study at Harvard Elite University. The limitation must initially apply for six months, Trump announced. It is said that it is aimed at foreign nationals who want to enter exclusively or mainly the United States to study at the university or to participate in an exchange program that it has organized.

The US Department of Foreign Affairs will also be instructed to check whether the Visa should be lifted by strangers who are already at the university. The input limitation does not apply to people from abroad, the import of, for example, after the determination by the US State Secretary Marco Rubio-Was under national interest.

In his opinion, the behavior of Harvard de Hurricane University had made an unsuitable goal for foreign students and researchers, Trump justified the project. The protection of the national security of the US requires that the government provides sufficient information on request to recognize and combat misconduct from foreign students.

As long as the university does not provide the information to protect its government to protect national security, it is in national interest to refuse to gain access to Harvard as part of an educational exchange, it continued.

There is already a legal dispute underway
It has been known for a long time that the US government wants to prevent Harvard from receiving international students. Minister of Homeland Protection Kristi Nom had announced almost two weeks ago that he had taken the relevant steps. In the future, the university should not accept new students from abroad as part of a special federal program.

However, the blockade of an American federal court prevents the US government from prohibiting Harvard about the admission of foreign students. However, your decision is not yet a definitive judgment.
