Trump Expresses Support for Chinese Students Studying and Staying in the U.S.

Support for International Students

• 🇺🇸 President Trump stated he has always been in favor of students coming to the United States, including those from China.
• 💡 He highlighted that approximately 500,000 Chinese students currently study in the U.S. and views this as a great thing for schools and the country.

Benefits of Allowing Students to Stay

• 🚀 Trump is also in favor of allowing these educated students to stay in the U.S. after graduation.
• 🎯 He believes that educating students for four years is a legitimate way for them to contribute and that companies like Apple should be able to hire top talent.
• ⚠️ He noted that many highly qualified graduates are unable to stay, leading to missed opportunities for American companies.

Economic Impact and Global Competition

• 🌍 Many students who are not allowed to stay often return to their home countries and start companies, becoming wealthy entrepreneurs who employ thousands.
• 📈 This situation results in these individuals contributing to the economies of other nations rather than the U.S., which Trump aims to address.
• 🗣️ He indicated that his administration would likely take action to allow more of these students to stay and work in the U.S. [Applause]
