Former U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to offer automatic green cards to foreign students graduating from U.S. colleges, aiming to keep talented individuals in the country. This shift from his earlier anti-immigrant stance comes ahead of the November election. Trump emphasized the need to retain top graduates, especially from STEM fields, to prevent them from returning to countries like India and China where they become successful entrepreneurs. This policy contrasts with his first-term immigration restrictions. Over a million international students study in the U.S., with significant numbers from China and India.
