US President Donald Trump has signed a statement restricting visas for foreign students at Harvard University, escalating tensions with the institution. The White House confirmed the move on Wednesday, following a recent State Department order for stricter visa screening for Harvard applicants.

Additionally, the Trump administration is considering a ₹1,000 fee for faster processing of tourist and other non-immigrant visas, though legal concerns have been raised. The proposed fee, possibly launching as a pilot in December, aligns with Trump’s broader immigration vision but may face rejection from the White House Budget Office or courts.
