During his visit to Beijing, President Trump told Fox News that he welcomes Chinese students to U.S. universities, calling exclusion 'insulting.' He warned that losing Chinese students would severely impact lower-ranked U.S. colleges as China rapidly builds its own scientific institutions. Trump acknowledged his stance diverges from some conservatives but described himself as following 'common sense.' This contrasts with Secretary of State Marco Rubio's previous calls for strict visa cancellations for Chinese students.
