Donald Trump’s latest comments about allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese international students into the United States have drawn criticism from some of the most outspoken members of the Republican Party.

Ahead of his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House on Monday, Trump told reporters that he plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students into the country — a figure more than double the number in the United States now.

It’s a sharp departure from an announcement Secretary of State Marco Rubio made in May, when he promised the United States would “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students and add more scrutiny to all future visa applications from China.

    How is that propaganda

    Because it’s factually untrue and largely a product of American criticism of Societ Era politics.

      I must have imagined everything I know of the 90s in Russia, including all read, heard and seen.

      There was no rebuttal, I live in Russia and you are arguing like a typical American. You don’t know how hard it was to keep a more specific description in.
